『你呢，你若將心守正，伸開雙手向他禱告——

“你若将心安正，又向主举手；

“至于你，若坚固己心，又向主举手；

“至于你，若坚固己心，又向主举手；

“你若把心安正，向祂举手祷告；

你若心里归向他，又向他伸手祷告；

你若將心安正，又向主舉手；

「至於你，若堅固己心，又向主舉手；

「至於你，若堅固己心，又向主舉手；

「你若把心安正，向祂舉手禱告；

你若心裡歸向他，又向他伸手禱告；

爾若秉心正直、向上帝舉手、

爾如洗心、祈禱上帝、

爾若定心、定心或作洗心向天主舉手、

“ Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him,

“ So commit yourself to God completely. Reach out your hands to him for help.

“ If you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward him.

“ If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer!

As for you, if you redirect your heart and spread out your hands to him in prayer—

“ If you would direct your heart rightly And spread out your hands to Him,

“ If you would prepare your heart, And stretch out your hands toward Him;

If thou set thy heart aright, And stretch out thy hands toward him;

As for you, if you redirect your heart and lift up your hands to Him in prayer—

If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

“ As for you, if you prove faithful, and if you stretch out your hands toward him,

“ If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.

我的眼力因困苦而衰弱。永恆主啊，我天天呼求你，向你張開着手而禱告。

免致像他們祖宗、做頑梗悖逆的一代，做居心不堅定、心對上帝不忠實的一代。

撒母耳對以色列全家說：『你們若一心回轉來歸向永恆主，把外人的神從你們中間除掉，也除掉亞斯他錄，立定心意歸向永恆主，單單事奉他，他就援救你們脫離非利士人的手。』

我伸開雙手向你禱告；我的心渴想着你，就像乾旱之地盼雨那樣。（細拉）

羅波安行了壞事，因為他不立定心意尋求永恆主。

『你要與上帝和諧，而心平氣和，福祉就因此而臨到你。你要領受他口中的訓令，將他說的話存於心裏。

你若迫切尋求上帝，而向全能者懇求；你若純潔正直，他一定為了你而奮發，使你正義之莊舍重復興旺。

但那僕人若知道主人的意思，卻不順着他的意思準備着，就必多受打。

『但是我呢、我總要尋求上帝，將我的事情託付於上帝；

直到敏速使者從埃及來朝，古實人急忙於向上帝舉手禱告。

然而你還有良好的表現，因為你從國中將亞舍拉神木肅清，你並且立定了心意尋求上帝。』
