1 Kings 8:26-34 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

26. Now therefore, God of Israel, please, let Your word be confirmed, which You spoke to Your servant my father David.

27. So will God really dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You! How much less this House that I have built!

28. Nevertheless, turn to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplication, Adonai my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You this day.

29. Let Your eyes be open toward this House night and day, toward the place of which You have said: ‘My Name shall be there;’ listening to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place.

30. “So listen to the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and when You hear, forgive!

31. If a man sins against his neighbor and is made to take an oath, then comes and swears before Your altar in this House,

32. then hear from heaven and act and judge Your servants, condemning the wicked, bringing his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness.

33. “When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy, because they have sinned against You, if they turn back to You and confess Your Name and pray and make supplication to You in this House,

34. then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers.
