servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying
the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
24
And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned
against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in
this house;
25
Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring
them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
26
When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee;
yet
if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict
them;
27
Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel,
when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land,
which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.
28
If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts,
or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever
sickness
there be:
29
Then
what prayer
or
what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or
of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread
forth his hands in this house:
30
Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and
render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only
knowest the hearts of the children of men:)
31
That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long
as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
32
Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far
country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come
and pray in this house;
33
Then hear thou from the heavens,
even
from thy dwelling place, and do
according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name,
and fear thee, as
doth
thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called
by thy name.
34
If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send
them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have
built for thy name;
35
Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and
maintain their cause.
36
If they sin against thee, (for
there is
no man which sinneth not,) and thou
be angry with them, and deliver them over before
their
enemies, and they carry them away captives
unto a land far off or near;
37
Yet
if
they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried
captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have
done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
38
If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their
soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their
land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and
toward
the city which thou hast chosen, and toward
the house which I have built for thy name:
39
Then hear thou from the heavens,
even
from thy
dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people
which have sinned against thee.
40
Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and
let
thine ears
be
attent unto the prayer
that is made
in this place.
41
Now therefore arise, O L
ORD
God,
