30
Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)
31
That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers.
32
Moreover concerning the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but hath come from a distant country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy out-stretched arm; if they come and pray in this house;
33
Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
34
If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to thee towards this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;
35
Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36
If they sin against thee, (for [there is] no man who sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before [their] enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off or near;
37
Yet [if] they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
38
If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray towards their land which thou gavest to their fathers, and [towards] the city which thou hast chosen, and towards the house which I have built for thy name:
39
Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.
40
Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thy eyes be open, and [let] thy ears [be] attentive to the prayer [that is made] in this place.
