43hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and act in accordance with all for which the foreigner calls to You, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name, to fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

40so that they may fear you all the days they live on the land you gave our ancestors. 41Even for the foreigner who is not of your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your name -- 42for they will hear of your great name, strong hand, and outstretched arm, and will come and pray toward this temple -- 43may you hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all the foreigner asks. Then all peoples of earth will know your name, to fear you as your people Israel do and to know that this temple I have built bears your name.New Living Translation
41'In the future, foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel will hear of you. They will come from distant lands because of your name,
42for they will hear of your great name and your strong hand and your powerful arm. And when they pray toward this Temple,
43then hear from heaven where you live, and grant what they ask of you. In this way, all the people of the earth will come to know and fear you, just as your own people Israel do. They, too, will know that this Temple I have built honors your name.
