Now, LORD God of Israel, make good unto my father David thy servant that which thou hast promised him, saying, 'Thou shalt not be without one or other in my sight that shall sit upon the seat of Israel. Of this condition, yet: if thy children will take heed to their ways to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.'

then hear thou from heaven, and work and judge thy servants, that thou reward the evil and bring his way upon his head, and justify the righteous and give him according to his righteousness.

Then hear thou from heaven and be merciful unto the sin of thy servants and of thy people Israel, that thou show them a good way to walk in, and send rain upon thy land which thou hast given unto thy people, for an inheritance.

thou shalt hear from heaven thy dwelling place, and shalt be merciful, and give every man according unto all his way, even as thou shalt know every man's heart: for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of Adam:

that they may fear thee and walk in thy ways as long as they live upon the earth, which thou gavest to our fathers.

When thy people shall go out to war, against their enemies the way that thou shalt send them; If they pray to thee, the way toward this city which thou hast chosen, and house which I have built for thy name;

Yet if my people that are named after my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my presence, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and be merciful to their sins, and will heal their land.
