and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised.
I have built the temple for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Therefore, LORD God of Israel,
keep what you promised
to your servant, my father David:

to sit before me on the throne of Israel,
if only your sons take care to walk in my Law
as you have walked before me.”

Hear the petitions of your servant
and your people Israel,
which they pray toward this place.
May you hear in your dwelling place in heaven.
May you hear and forgive.
may you hear in heaven, your dwelling place,
and may you forgive and give to everyone[fn]
according to all their ways, since you know each heart,
for you alone know the human heart,
may you hear in heaven in your dwelling place,
and do all the foreigner asks you.

to fear you as your people Israel do
and know that this temple I have built
bears your name.
may you hear their prayer and petitions in heaven,
your dwelling place,
and uphold their cause.[fn]
May you forgive your people
who sinned against you.
