*
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant ,
and of thy people Israel ,
when they shall pray toward this place :
and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place :
and when thou hearest ,
forgive .
*
If any man trespass against his neighbour ,
and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear ,
and the oath come before thine altar in this house :
*
Then hear thou in heaven ,
and do ,
and judge thy servants ,
condemning the wicked ,
to bring his way upon his head ;
and justifying the righteous ,
to give him according to his righteousness .
*
When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy ,
because they have sinned against thee ,
and shall turn again to thee ,
and confess thy name ,
and pray ,
and make supplication unto thee in this house :
*
Then hear thou in heaven ,
and forgive the sin of thy people Israel ,
and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers .
*
When heaven is shut up ,
and there is no rain ,
because they have sinned against thee ;
if they pray toward this place ,
and confess thy name ,
and turn from their sin ,
when thou afflictest them :
*
Then hear thou in heaven ,
and forgive the sin of thy servants ,
and of thy people Israel ,
that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk ,
and give rain upon thy land ,
which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance .
