22Then 1SolomonH8010 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 in the presenceH5048 of allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478, and he 2spreadH6566 outH6566 his handsH3709 toward heavenH8064. 23And he saidH559, “LordH3068, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 3thereH369 isH369 noH369 GodH430 likeH3644 You in heavenH8064 aboveH4480H4605 or on earthH776 beneathH4480H8478, 4keepingH8104 the covenantH1285 and showing faithfulnessH2617 to Your servantsH5650 who walkH1980 beforeH6440 You with allH3605 their heartH3820, 24You whoH834 have keptH8104 with Your servantH5650, my fatherH1 DavidH1732, that whichH834 You 5promisedH1696 him; You have spokenH1696 with Your mouthH6310 and have fulfilledH4390 it with Your handH3027, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117. 25NowH6258 then, LordH3068, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that whichH834 You have 6promisedH1696 him, sayingH559, ‘78You shall not be deprivedH3772 of a manH376 to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, ifH518 onlyH7534 your sonsH1121 areH8104 carefulH8104 about their wayH1870, to walkH1980 beforeH6440 Me as you have walkedH1980.’ 26NowH6258 then, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, let Your wordsH1697, pleaseH4994, be confirmedH539, 9whichH834 You have spokenH1696 to Your servantH5650, my fatherH1 DavidH1732.
27“But will GodH430 indeedH552 dwellH3427 on the earthH776? BeholdH2009, 10heavenH8064 and the 11highestH8064 heavenH8064 cannotH3808 containH3557 You, howH637 muchH637H3588 lessH637 thisH2088 houseH1004 whichH834 I have builtH1129! 28Nevertheless, turnH6437 Your attentionH6437 to the 12prayerH8605 of Your servantH5650 and to his pleaH8467, LordH3068, my GodH430, to listenH8085 to the cryH7440 and to the prayerH8605 whichH834 Your servantH5650 praysH6419 beforeH6440 You todayH3117, 2913so that Your eyesH5869 may be openH6605 towardH413 thisH2088 houseH1004 nightH3915 and dayH3117, towardH413 14the placeH4725 of whichH834 You have saidH559, ‘My nameH8034 shall be thereH8033,’ to listenH8085 to the prayerH8605 whichH834 Your servantH5650 will prayH6419 towardH413 thisH2088 placeH4725. 30And 15listenH8085 to the pleaH8467 of Your servantH5650 and of Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, 16whenH834 they prayH6419 towardH413 thisH2088 placeH4725; hearH8085 in heavenH8064 Your dwellingH3427 placeH4725; hearH8085 and 17forgiveH5545!
