1 Kings 8:22-35

22And SolomonH8010 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 in the presenceH6440 of allH3605 the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spreadH6566 forth his handsH3709 towardH6440 heavenH8064:

23and he saidH559, O LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is noH369 GodH430 like thee, in heavenH8064 aboveH5921, or on earthH776 beneathH8478; who keepest covenantH1285 and mercyH3068 with thy servantsH5650, that walkH1980 beforeH6440 thee with allH3605 their heartH3820:

24who hast keptH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that whichH834 thou didst promiseH1696 him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouthH6310, and hast fulfilledH4390 it with thine handH3027, as it is this dayH3117.

25NowH6258 therefore, O LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that whichH834 thou hast promisedH1696 him, sayingH559, There shall notH3808 failH3772 thee a manH376 in my sightH6440 to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478; ifH518 onlyH7535 thy childrenH1121 takeH8104 heedH8104 to their wayH1870 to walkH1980 beforeH6440 meH6440 as thou hast walkedH1980 beforeH6440 meH6440.

26NowH6258 therefore, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478, letH4994 thy wordH1697, I prayH4994 thee, be verifiedH539, whichH834 thou spakest unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1.

27But will GodH430 in veryH2088 deed dwellH3427 on the earthH776? beholdH2009, heavenH8064 and the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannotH3808 containH3557 thee; howH834 muchH637 lessH637 this houseH1004 that I have builded!

28Yet have thou respectH6437 unto the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, and to his supplicationH8467, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, to hearken unto the cryH7440 and to the prayerH8605 whichH834 thy servantH5650 prayeth beforeH6440 thee this dayH3117:

29that thine eyesH5869 may be openH6605 towardH413 this houseH1004 nightH3915 and dayH3117, even towardH413 the placeH4725 whereof thou hast saidH559, My nameH8034 shall be there: to hearken unto the prayerH8605 whichH834 thy servantH5650 shall prayH6419 towardH413 this placeH4725.

30And hearken thou to the supplicationH8467 of thy servantH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when they shall prayH6419 towardH413 this placeH4725: yea, hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4725; and when thou hearest, forgiveH5545.

31IfH834 a manH376 sinH2398 againstH6440 his neighbour, and an oathH423 be laidH6440 uponH935 him to cause him to swear, and he comeH935 and swear beforeH6440 thine altarH4196 in this houseH1004:

32then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and doH6213, and judgeH8199 thy servantsH5650, condemningH7561 the wickedH7563, to bringH5414 his wayH1870 upon his own headH7218; and justifyingH6663 the righteousH6662, to giveH5414 him according to his righteousnessH6666.

33When thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 the enemyH341, becauseH834 they have sinnedH2398 againstH413 thee; ifH834 they turnH7725 againH7725 to thee, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419 and makeH7725 supplicationH6419 unto thee in this houseH1004:

34then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bringH7725 them againH7725 unto the landH127 whichH834 thou gavest unto their fathersH1;

35When heavenH8064 is shutH6113 upH853, and there is noH3808 rainH4306, becauseH3588 they have sinnedH2398 againstH413 thee; ifH3588 they prayH6419 towardH413 this placeH4725, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and turnH7725 from their sinH2398, when thou dost afflictH6031 them:
