1 Kings 8:39-53

JuliaSmith(i) 39 Wilt thou hear in the heavens thy prepared dwelling, and forgive and do, and give to a man according to all his ways? for thou wilt know his heart; for thou wilt know alone the heart of all the sons of men: 40 So that they will fear thee all the days which they live upon the face of the earth which thou gavest to our fathers. 41 And also for the strangers which are not of thy people Israel, he shall come from a land afar off for sake of thy name; 42 (For they will hear of thy great name and thy strong hand, and thy stretched out arm;) and coming and praying to this house; 43 Wilt thou hear in the heavens thy prepared dwelling, and do according to all the stranger shall call upon thee? so that all the people of the earth shall know thy name to fear thee as thy people Israel; and to know that thy name was called upon this house which I built 44 If thy people shall go forth to war against his enemy in the way which thou shalt send them, and pray to Jehovah the way of the city which thou didst choose in it, and the house which I built for thy name: 45 And hear thou in the heavens their supplication and their prayer, and do their judgment 46 For they will sin against thee (for no man which will not sin) and thou wert angry with them and gave them before the enemy, and they carried them away their captives to the land of the enemy, far off or near; 47 And they turned back to their heart in the land which they were carried captive there, and they turned back and supplicated to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We sinned and acted perversely, and did evil; 48 And they turned back to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and prayed to thee the way of their land which thou gavest to their fathers, the city which thou didst choose, and the house which I built to thy name: 49 And hear in the heavens thy prepared dwelling, their supplication and their prayer, and do their judgment, 50 And forgive to thy people who sinned against thee, and all their transgressions which they transgressed against thee, and give them for compassion before those carrying them captive, and they compassionated them: 51 For they thy people and thine inheritance which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt from the midst of the furnace of iron: 52 For thine eyes to be opened to the prayer of thy servant and to the prayer of thy people Israel, to hear to them in all their calling to thee. 53 For thou didst separate them to thyself for an inheritance from all the people of the earth as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, in thy bringing our fathers out of the land of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.
