But suppose one of your people prays to you. They ask you to help them. They are aware of how much they are suffering. And they spread out their hands toward this temple to pray.

你的民以色列，或是众人，或是一人，自觉灾祸甚苦，向这殿举手，无论祈求什么，祷告什么，

你的百姓以色列，或众人或一人，自觉灾祸困苦，向这殿举手，无论祈求什么，祷告什么，

你的百姓以色列，或众人或一人，自觉灾祸困苦，向这殿举手，无论祈求什么，祷告什么，

只要你的以色列子民，或个人或全体，自知心中痛苦并向着这殿伸手祷告，无论祈求什么，

你的子民以色列，无论是个别或是全体，自知自己的灾祸和痛苦，向着这殿张开双手祷告或祈求，

你的民以色列，或是眾人，或是一人，自覺災禍甚苦，向這殿舉手，無論祈求甚麼，禱告甚麼，

你的百姓以色列，或眾人或一人，自覺災禍困苦，向這殿舉手，無論祈求甚麼，禱告甚麼，

你的百姓以色列，或眾人或一人，自覺災禍困苦，向這殿舉手，無論祈求甚麼，禱告甚麼，

只要你的以色列子民，或個人或全體，自知心中痛苦並向著這殿伸手禱告，無論祈求什麼，

你的子民以色列，無論是個別或是全體，自知自己的災禍和痛苦，向著這殿張開雙手禱告或祈求，

你人民以色列，或是任何一人，或是眾人，各人知道自己的災病、自己的苦痛，向這殿舉開雙手，或是禱告，或是懇求，

爾民以色列、或一人、或眾人、自覺其殃其苦、若向此室張手、無論何所禱、何所祈、

如以色列族中知其艱苦、不論何事、展舒其手、向斯殿以祈求、

主之民以色列、無論何人、自覺己心之憂痛愁苦、向此殿舉手、無論何祈何禱、

and when a prayer or plea is made by anyone among your people Israel— being aware of their afflictions and pains, and spreading out their hands toward this temple—

whatever prayer, whatever plea is made by any man or by all your people Israel, each knowing his own affliction and his own sorrow and stretching out his hands toward this house,

and if your people Israel pray about their troubles or sorrow, raising their hands toward this Temple,

every prayer or petition that any person or that all your people Israel may have— they each know their own affliction and suffering— as they spread out their hands toward this temple,

whatever prayer or plea is made by anyone or by all Your people Israel, each knowing his own affliction and his own pain, and spreading his hands toward this house,

whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, when each one knows his own burden and his own grief, and spreads out his hands to this temple:

what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house:

whatever prayer or petition anyone from your people Israel might have— each man knowing his own affliction and suffering, and spreading out his hands toward this temple—

[ Then] what prayer[ or] what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

When all your people Israel pray and ask for help, as they acknowledge their intense pain and spread out their hands toward this temple,

whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who will each know his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread out his hands toward this house;

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Blessed are the people he chose to be his own.From heaven the Lord looks down and sees everyone.

Each heart knows its own sadness. And no one else can share its joy.

He will call out to me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in times of trouble. I will save him and honor him.

Call out to me when trouble comes. I will save you. And you will honor me.”

Then Solomon stood in front of the Lord’ s altar. He stood in front of the whole community of Israel. He spread out his hands to pray.He had made a bronze stage. It was seven and a half feet long and seven and a half feet wide. It was four and a half feet high. He had placed it in the center of the outer courtyard. He stood on the stage. Then he got down on his knees in front of the whole community of Israel. He spread out his hands toward heaven.

I call out to the Lord. I pray to him for mercy.I pour out my problem to him. I tell him about my trouble.

Blessed is the person whose sin the Lord never counts against them. That person doesn’t want to cheat anyone.When I kept silent about my sin, my body became weak because I groaned all day long.Day and night you punished me. I became weaker and weaker as I do in the heat of summer.Then I admitted my sin to you. I didn’t cover up the wrong I had done. I said,“ I will admit my lawless acts to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.Let everyone who is faithful pray to you while they can still look to you. When troubles come like a flood, they certainly won’t reach those who are faithful.

You might spread out your hands toward me when you pray. But I do not look at you. You might even offer many prayers. But I am not listening to them. Your hands are covered with the blood of the people you have murdered.
