22Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of all the assembly of Israel and spread his hands toward the heavens.23And he said, "The LORD God of Israel, there is none like you, God, in the heavens above and on the earth below, who keeps the covenant and the steadfast love for your servants, the ones walking before you with all their heart."24which you kept for your servant David my father, that which you spoke to him and you spoke in your mouth and in your hand you have fulfilled as this day.25And now, LORD God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father that which you spoke to him, saying, 'There shall not be cut off for you a man from before me sitting on the throne of Israel, only if your sons keep their way to walk before me just as you have walked before me.'26And now, God of Israel, let your word please be true, which you spoke to your servant David my father.27For indeed, does God dwell on the land? Behold, the heavens and the heavens of the heavens cannot contain you, even this house that I have built.28And turn to the prayer of your servant and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hear the joyful cry and the prayer which your servant prays before you today.29for your eyes being open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which you said, "My name will be there," to hear the prayer which your servant will pray toward this place.30And you will hear the plea of your servant and your people Israel when they pray toward this place, and you will hear from the place of your dwelling in the heavens and hear and forgive.31When a man sins against his companion and an oath is lifted against him, and the oath comes before your altar in this house.32And you, you will hear from the heavens and you will do and you will judge your servants, to treat the wicked as wicked and give his way on his head, and to treat the righteous as righteous and give to him according to his righteousness.33When your people Israel are struck before an enemy because they sin against you, and they return to you and confess your Name and pray and make supplication to you in this house.34And you will hear from the heavens and forgive the sin offering of your people Israel and return them to the ground which you gave to their fathers.35When you restrain the heavens and there is no rain because they sin against you and they pray toward this place and confess your name and from their sin-offerings they return because you afflict them.36And you, you will hear from the heavens and forgive the sin offering of your servants and your people Israel, for you will teach them the good way in which they will walk, and you will give rain on your land which you gave to your people as an inheritance.37"Famine, if it is in the land; blight, if it is; mildew, locust, grasshopper, if they are; if his enemy distresses him in the land at his gates; every plague, every disease."38every prayer, every supplication that will be made by every man for all your people Israel, when they know in their heart the plague of his heart and spreads his palms toward this house39Then you will hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive and act and give to each man according to all his ways, whose heart you know, for you alone know the heart of all humankind.40so that they fear you all the days that they are living on the face of the land that you have given to our fathers.41And also to the foreigner who is not from your people Israel, and comes from a distant land for the sake of your name.42for they will hear of your great name and your strong hand and your outstretched arm, and he comes and prays toward this house.43you will hear from the heavens, the foundation of your dwelling, and you will do according to all that the foreigner calls to you, so that all peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you like your people Israel, and to know that your name has been called upon this house that I have built.44for when your people goes out to warfare against its enemies in the way that you send them and they pray to the LORD by way of the city that you have chosen and the house that I have built for your name.45And you will hear from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and you will do their justice.46for they sin against you—for there is no Adam who does not sin—and you are angry with them and give them before enemy and their captors take them to land of the enemy, far or close.47and they bring it to their heart in the land where they were taken captive there and they return and they entreat you in the land of their captors saying "We have sinned and we have acted perversely; we have done wickedly."48and they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, where they were taken captive, and they pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you chose, and the house which I have built for your name.49Then you will hear from heaven, the established place of your dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and you will do their justice.50And you forgive your people who sinned against you and all their transgressions that they transgressed against you, and you give them mercies before their captors so that they have compassion on them.51for your people and your inheritance, they are whom you brought out from Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace.52that your eyes may be open toward the supplication of your servant and toward the supplication of your people Israel, to hear them in every calling to you.53For you have separated them to yourself as an inheritance from all the peoples of the land, as you spoke by the hand of Moses your servant when you brought out our fathers from Egypt, Lord GOD.54When Solomon finished praying to the LORD all this prayer and supplication, he arose from before the altar of the LORD—from kneeling on his knees with his palms spread out to the heavens.55And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying:56Blessed be the LORD who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he spoke; not one word has fallen from all his good word that he spoke by the hand of Moses his servant.57May the LORD our God be with us just as he was with our fathers; may he not abandon us or reject us.58to incline our heart to him, to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments which he commanded our fathers.59And may these words that I entreated before the LORD be near to the LORD our God day and night, to do justice for his servant and justice for his people Israel, word of day in its day.60so that all the peoples of the land might know that the LORD, he is God; there is none besides.61And may your heart be wholly with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
