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.
40. Now, my God,please let Your eyes be openand Your ears attentiveto the prayer of this place.
41. Now therefore: Arise, Lord God, come to Your resting place,You and Your powerful ark.May Your priests, Lord God, be clothed with salvation,and may Your godly people rejoice in goodness.
42. Lord God, do not reject Your anointed one; remember the loyalty of Your servant David.
