44. When Your people go out to fight against their enemies, wherever You send them,and they pray to Yahwehin the direction of the city You have chosen and the temple I have built for Your name,
45. may You hear their prayer and petition in heavenand uphold their cause.
46. When they sin against You —for there is no one who does not sin —and You are angry with themand hand them over to the enemy,and their captors deport them to the enemy’s country —whether distant or nearby —
47. and when they come to their senses in the land where they were deportedand repent and petition You in their captors’ land:“We have sinned and done wrong;we have been wicked,”
