34. “When your people go out to war against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you toward the city you have chosen and the house I have built for your name,
35. listen from heaven to their prayer and petition, and uphold their cause.
36. When they sin against you (for there is no one who does not sin), and in your anger against them you deliver them to an enemy, so that their captors carry them off to another land, far or near,
37. and they have a change of heart in the land of their captivity and they turn and entreat you in the land of their captors and say, ‘We have sinned and done wrong; we have been wicked,’
38. if with all their heart and soul they turn back to you in the land of those who took them captive, and pray toward their land which you gave their ancestors, the city you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name,
39. listen from heaven, the place of your enthronement, to their prayer and petitions, and uphold their cause. Forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40. Now, my God, may your eyes be open and your ears be attentive to the prayer of this place.
41. And now:“Arise, Lord God, come to your resting place,you and your majestic ark.Your priests, Lord God, will be clothed with salvation,your faithful ones rejoice in good things.
42. Lord God, do not reject the plea of your anointed,remember the devotion of David, your servant.”
