45. Then hear in heaven their prayer and supplication, and defend their cause and maintain their right.
46. If they sin against You–for there is no man who does not sin–and You are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they are carried away captive to the enemy's land, far or near;
47. Yet if they think and consider in the land where they were carried captive, and repent and make supplication to You there, saying, We have sinned and have done perversely and wickedly;
48. If they repent and turn to You with all their mind and with all their heart in the land of their enemies who took them captive, and pray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for Your Name;
49. Then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, Your dwelling place, and defend their cause and maintain their right.
50. And forgive Your people, who have sinned against You, and all their transgressions against You, and grant them compassion before those who took them captive, that they may have pity and be merciful to them;
51. For they are Your people and Your heritage, which You brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace.
52. Let Your eyes be open to the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, to hearken to them in all for which they call to You.
53. For You separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be Your heritage, as You declared through Moses Your servant when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.
54. When Solomon finished offering all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, he arose from before the Lord's altar, where he had knelt with hands stretched toward heaven.
55. And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56. Blessed be the Lord, Who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. Not one word has failed of all His good promise which He promised through Moses His servant.
57. May the Lord our God be with us as He was with our fathers; may He not leave us or forsake us,
