if they repent with all their heart and soul in the land of their captivity, to which they were taken captive, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their ancestors, the city that you have chosen, and the house that I have built for your name,
39

40
Now, O my God, let your eyes be open and your ears attentive to prayer from this place.

"Now rise up, O Lord God, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. Let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your faithful rejoice in your goodness.
42
O Lord God, do not reject your anointed one. Remember your steadfast love for your servant David."
