Read in context

2 Chronicles 6:38–42 · Berean Standard Bible

38 and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them captive, and when they pray in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,

39 then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and petition, and may You uphold their cause. May You forgive Your people who sinned against You.

40 Now, my God, may Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.

41 Now therefore, arise, O LORD God, and enter Your resting place, You and the ark of Your might. May Your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and may Your godly ones rejoice in goodness.

42 O LORD God, do not reject Your anointed one. Remember Your loving devotion to Your servant David.”
