Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his
supplication, O Lord my God
Meaning himself, who, though a king acknowledged himself, and esteemed it an honour to be the servant of the Lord, and who was also an humble suppliant of his, and desired his prayers and supplications might be attended to:

before thee this day;
the particulars of which follow.

1 Kings 8:28 In-Context

26 So now, O God of Israel, let everything come true that you promised to my father David, your servant.

27 "But can you, O God, really live on earth? Not even all of heaven is large enough to hold you, so how can this Temple that I have built be large enough?

28 Lord my God, I am your servant. Listen to my prayer, and grant the requests I make to you today.

29 Watch over this Temple day and night, this place where you have chosen to be worshiped. Hear me when I face this Temple and pray.

30 Hear my prayers and the prayers of your people when they face this place and pray. In your home in heaven hear us and forgive us.
