And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying,

If evil comes upon us; sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine; we will stand before this house and before Your face (for Your name is in this house), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.

And I said, I beseech You, O Jehovah the God of Heaven, O great and awesome Mighty God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and keep Your commandments:

Let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father's house and I have sinned.

then hear in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You have given to their fathers.

then hear in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

then hear in Heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone have known the hearts of all the sons of men),

hear in Heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls upon You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name to fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

then hear in Heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and attend to their cause,

And may You hear the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear from Heaven Your dwelling place, and when You have heard, forgive.

Jehovah looks down from Heaven; He watches all the sons of mankind.

From His dwelling place He gazes upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

Who is like Jehovah our God, who dwells on high,

who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in the heavens and in the earth!

i1 [A Song of Ascents.] i0 par Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens.

Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart be hasty to say a word before God. For God is in Heaven, and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few.

For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and consecrated place, even with the contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in Heaven, Holy is Your name.

then hear in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You have given to their fathers.

then hear in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

then hear in Heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone have known the hearts of all the sons of men),

if My people who have been called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from the heavens, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

If You, YAH, should keep remembering iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared.

O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, give attention and act! Do not delay, for Your own sake, O my God. For Your city and Your people are called by Your name.

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