38. When they return to you with all their heart and being in the land where they are held prisoner and direct their prayers toward the land you gave to their ancestors, your chosen city, and the temple I built for your honor,
39. then listen from your heavenly dwelling place to their prayers for help, vindicate them, and forgive your sinful people.
40. “Now, my God, may you be attentive and responsive to the prayers offered in this place.
41. Now ascend, O Lord God, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength! May your priests, O Lord God, experience your deliverance! May your loyal followers rejoice in the prosperity you give!
42. O Lord God, do not reject your chosen ones! Remember the faithful promises you made to your servant David!”
