29. whatever prayer or petitionanyone from your people Israel might have —each man knowing his own affliction and suffering,and spreading out his hands toward this temple —
30. may You hear in heaven, Your dwelling place,and may You forgive and repay the manaccording to all his ways, since You know his heart,for You alone know the human heart,
31. so that they may fear Youand walk in Your waysall the days they live on the landYou gave our ancestors.
32. Even for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israelbut has come from a distant landbecause of Your great nameand Your mighty hand and outstretched arm: when he comes and prays toward this temple,
33. may You hear in heaven in Your dwelling place,and do all the foreigner asks You.Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name,to fear You as Your people Israel doand know that this temple I have builtis called by Your name.
34. When Your people go out to fight against their enemies,wherever You send them,and they pray to Youin the direction of this city You have chosen and the temple that I have built for Your name,
35. may You hear their prayer and petition in heavenand uphold their cause.
36. 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 themto a distant or nearby country,
37. and when they come to their sensesin the land where they were deportedand repent and petition You in their captors’ land,saying: “We have sinned and done wrong;we have been wicked,”
38. and when they return to You with their whole mind and heartin the land of their captivity where they were taken captive,and when they pray in the direction of their landthat You gave their ancestors,and the city You have chosen,and toward the temple I have built for Your name,
39. may You hear their prayer and petitions in heaven,Your dwelling place,and uphold their cause. May You forgive Your peoplewho sinned against You.
