³⁸ and when they return to you with all their mind and all their heart
in the land of their captivity where they were taken captive,
and when they pray in the direction of their land
that you gave their ancestors,
and the city you have chosen,
and toward the temple I have built for your name,
³⁹ may you hear their prayer and petitions in heaven,
your dwelling place,
and uphold their cause.^[a]
May you forgive your people
who sinned against you.
⁴⁰ Now, my God,
please let your eyes be open
and your ears attentive
to the prayer of this place.^(A)
