1 Kings 8:41-45 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

41. “To the foreigners, likewise, who are not of your people Israel, but who come from a distant land for the sake of your name

42. (since people will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm), when they come and pray toward this house,

43. listen in heaven, the place of your enthronement. Do all that the foreigner asks of you, that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, may revere you as do your people Israel, and may know that your name has been invoked upon this house that I have built.

44. “When your people go out to war against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to the Lord toward the city you have chosen and the house I have built for your name,

45. listen in heaven to their prayer and petition, and uphold their cause.
