Then hear thou their prayers, and their supplication, in heaven thy dwellingplace For their deliverance out of captivity: and maintain their cause; plead it, and do them justice, avenge their injuries, and deliver them.
47
listen to your people's prayers. If there in that land they repent and pray to you, confessing how sinful and wicked they have been, hear their prayers, O Lord.
48
If in that land they truly and sincerely repent and pray to you as they face toward this land which you gave to our ancestors, this city which you have chosen, and this Temple which I have built for you,
49
then listen to their prayers. In your home in heaven hear them and be merciful to them.
50
Forgive all their sins and their rebellion against you, and make their enemies treat them with kindness.
51
They are your own people, whom you brought out of Egypt, that blazing furnace.
