1 Kings 8:48-54
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
48
if they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and pray to You toward their land which You have given to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for Your name;
49
then hear their prayer and their pleading in heaven, Your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
50
and forgive Your people who have sinned against You and all their wrongdoings which they have committed against You, and make them
objects of
compassion before those who have taken them captive, so that they will have compassion on them
51
(for they are Your people and Your inheritance which You have brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace),
52
so that Your eyes may be open to the pleading of Your servant and to the pleading of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You.
53
For You have singled them out from all the peoples of the earth as Your inheritance, just as You spoke through Moses Your servant, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord
God
.'
54
When Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and plea to the
Lord
, he stood up from the altar of the
Lord
, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward heaven.
King James Version
Chapter 8
48
And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
49
Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
50
And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
51
For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
52
That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
53
For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord
God
.
54
And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the
Lord
, he arose from before the altar of the
Lord
, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
48
and when they return to you with all their heart and all their soul
in the land of their enemies who took them captive,
and when they pray to you in the direction of their land
that you gave their ancestors,
the city you have chosen,
and the temple I have built for your name,
49
may you hear in heaven, your dwelling place,
their prayer and petition and uphold their cause.
50
May you forgive your people
who sinned against you
and all their rebellions against you,
and may you grant them compassion
before their captors,
so that they may treat them compassionately.
51
For they are your people and your inheritance;
you brought them out of Egypt,
out of the middle of an iron furnace.
52
May your eyes be open to your servant’s petition
and to the petition of your people Israel,
listening to them whenever they call to you.
53
For you, Lord
God
, have set them apart as your inheritance
from all peoples of the earth,
as you spoke through your servant Moses
when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt.
54
When Solomon finished praying this entire prayer and petition to the
Lord
, he got up from kneeling before the altar of the
Lord
, with his hands spread out toward heaven,
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
48
If they turn to you with their whole heart and soul in the land of their enemies and pray toward the land you gave to their ancestors — toward this city you have chosen, and toward this Temple I have built to honor your name —
49
then hear their prayers and their petition from heaven where you live, and uphold their cause.
50
Forgive your people who have sinned against you. Forgive all the offenses they have committed against you. Make their captors merciful to them,
51
for they are your people — your special possession — whom you brought out of the iron-smelting furnace of Egypt.
52
'May your eyes be open to my requests and to the requests of your people Israel. May you hear and answer them whenever they cry out to you.
53
For when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt, O Sovereign
Lord
, you told your servant Moses that you had set Israel apart from all the nations of the earth to be your own special possession.'
54
When Solomon finished making these prayers and petitions to the
Lord
, he stood up in front of the altar of the
Lord
, where he had been kneeling with his hands raised toward heaven.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
48
if they repent with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city that you have chosen, and the house that I have built for your name,
49
then hear in heaven your dwelling place their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause
50
and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions that they have committed against you, and grant them compassion in the sight of those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
51
(for they are your people, and your heritage, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace).
52
Let your eyes be open to the plea of your servant and to the plea of your people Israel, giving ear to them whenever they call to you.
53
For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your heritage, as you declared through Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord
God
."
54
Now as Solomon finished offering all this prayer and plea to the
Lord
, he arose from before the altar of the
Lord
, where he had knelt with hands outstretched toward heaven.
New International Version
Chapter 8
48
and if they turn back to you with all their heart and soul in the land of their enemies who took them captive, and pray to you toward the land you gave their ancestors, toward the city you have chosen and the temple I have built for your Name;
49
then from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause.
50
And forgive your people, who have sinned against you; forgive all the offenses they have committed against you, and cause their captors to show them mercy;
51
for they are your people and your inheritance, whom you brought out of Egypt, out of that iron-smelting furnace.
52
"May your eyes be open to your servant’s plea and to the plea of your people Israel, and may you listen to them whenever they cry out to you.
53
For you singled them out from all the nations of the world to be your own inheritance, just as you declared through your servant Moses when you, Sovereign
Lord
, brought our ancestors out of Egypt."
54
When Solomon had finished all these prayers and supplications to the
Lord
, he rose from before the altar of the
Lord
, where he had been kneeling with his hands spread out toward heaven.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
48
and
when
they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name:
49
then hear in heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause,
50
and forgive Your people who have sinned against You, and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You; and grant them compassion before those who took them captive, that they may have compassion on them
51
(for they
are
Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, out of the iron furnace),
52
that Your eyes may be open to the supplication of Your servant and the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You.
53
For You separated them from among all the peoples of the earth
to be
Your inheritance, as You spoke by Your servant Moses, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord
God
.”
54
And so it was, when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the
Lord
, that he arose from before the altar of the
Lord
, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
