And they dwelt in it, and built in it a sanctuary to Your name, saying,

If there should come upon us evils, sword, judgment, pestilence, [or] famine, we will stand before this house, and before You, (for Your name [is] upon this house) and we will cry to You because of the affliction, and You shall hear, and deliver.

And I said, I pray, O Lord God of heaven, the mighty [One], the great and terrible, keeping Your covenant and mercy to them that love Him, and to those that keep His commandments.

Let now Your ear be attentive, and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You at this time, this day [both] day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and make confession for the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against You- both I and the house of my father have sinned.

then shall You hear from heaven, and be gracious to the sins of Your people Israel, and You shall restore them to the land which You gave to their fathers.

then You shall hear from heaven, and be merciful to the sins of Your servant and of Your people Israel; for You shall show them the good way to walk in it, and You shall give rain upon the earth which You have given to Your people for an inheritance.

then shall You hearken from heaven, out of Your established dwelling place, and shall be merciful, and shall do, and recompense to [every] man according to his ways, as You shall know his heart, for You alone know the heart of all the children of men;

then shall You hear [them] from heaven, out of Your established dwelling place, and You shall do according to all that the stranger shall call upon You for, that all the nations may know Your name, and fear You, as [do] Your people Israel, and may know that Your name has been called on this house which I have built.

then shall You hear from heaven, Your established dwelling place,

And You shall hear the supplication of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, whatsoever prayers they shall make towards this place, and You shall hearken in Your dwelling place out of heaven; yea, You shall hear, and be merciful.

The Lord looks out of heaven; He beholds all the sons of men.

He looks [down] from His dwelling place on all the inhabitants of the earth;

Who is as the Lord our God? Who dwells in the high places,

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth;

A Song of Degrees. Unto You who dwells in heaven have I lifted up my eyes.

Be not hasty with your mouth, and let not your heart be swift to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven above, and you [are] on earth; therefore let your words be few.

Thus says the Most High, who dwells on high forever, Holy in the holies is His name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the broken-hearted;

Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

then shall You hear from heaven, and be gracious to the sins of Your people Israel, and You shall restore them to the land which You gave to their fathers.

then You shall hear from heaven, and be merciful to the sins of Your servant and of Your people Israel; for You shall show them the good way to walk in it, and You shall give rain upon the earth which You have given to Your people for an inheritance.

then shall You hearken from heaven, out of Your established dwelling place, and shall be merciful, and shall do, and recompense to [every] man according to his ways, as You shall know his heart, for You alone know the heart of all the children of men;

then if My people, on whom My name is called, should repent, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, I also will hear from heaven, and I will be merciful to their sins, and I will heal their land.

If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

For with You is forgiveness;

Hearken, O Lord; be propitious, O Lord; attend, O Lord; delay not, O my God, for Your own sake; for Your city and Your people are called by Your name.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
