  • O LORD God, do not reject the face of your anointed; remember the steadfast love of David your servant.

And he stood before the altar of the LORD, facing all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands.

For Solomon had made a bronze platform and set it in the court; its length was five cubits, its width five cubits, and its height three cubits; and he stood upon it, knelt and blessed the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands to heaven. And he said, "O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heavens above or on the earth beneath; you have kept covenant and steadfast love for your servants who walk before you with all their heart.

Which you have kept for your servant David my father the promise that you made to him; with your mouth you spoke it, and with your hand you have fulfilled it, as it stands this day. And now, O LORD God of Israel, keep to your servant David my father the promise you made him, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man to sit before you on the throne of Israel, provided your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.'" Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, confirm the word that you have spoken to your servant David. But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain you—how much less this house that I have built!

Yet incline, O LORD, to the prayer of your servant and to his plea; O LORD my God, give ear to the cry and the prayer which your servant prays before you.

Let your eyes be open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which you said, 'My name shall be there,' to listen to the prayer which your servant makes toward this place.

Hearken to the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place; and hear from your dwelling place in heaven—when you hear, forgive.

If any man sins against his neighbor and an oath is laid upon him to bring the case before you, and the matter comes before your altar in this house,

then hear from heaven and act; judge your servants, returning the wicked to his own way and his ruin, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. And if your people Israel be disciplined before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they return and give thanks to your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house,

then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.

When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, and they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin because you have humbled them,

then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants and of your people Israel, and teach them the good way in which they should walk; and grant rain on your land, which you have given to your people as an inheritance.

If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, mildew, blight, locust, or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities, every plague and every sickness,

whatever prayer or supplication any man or all your people Israel may make, each aware of the affliction of his own heart and spreading out his hands toward this house,

then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and give to every man according to all his ways, for you alone know the hearts of all the children of men.

That they may fear you, to walk in your ways all the days that they live upon the earth which you gave to our fathers.

Also concerning the foreigner who is not of your people Israel, but comes from a far country for the sake of your great name, your mighty hand and outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,

hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as does your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

When your people go out to battle against their enemies by the way that you send them, and they pray to the LORD toward the city you have chosen and toward the house I have built for your name,

then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and uphold their cause.

If they sin against you—for there is no one who does not sin—and you become angry with them and deliver them into the hand of the enemy, so that they are carried away captive to a land far or near;

and if they in the land of their captivity turn their heart, and repent and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, 'We have sinned, we have acted perversely, we have done wickedly;'

and if they return to you with all their heart and all their soul in the land of their captivity where they have been carried, and pray toward their land which you gave to their fathers, the city you have chosen, and the house I have built for your name,

then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, their prayer and their supplication, and uphold their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.

Now, O my God, let your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. Now arise, O LORD God, and come to your resting place; you and the ark of your might. Let your priests be clothed with salvation, and let your faithful ones rejoice in goodness.

O LORD God, do not turn away the face of your anointed; remember the steadfast love promised to David your servant.
