Solomon's Prayer To Dedicate The Temple
23
May You judge Your servants,
condemning the wicked man by bringing
what he has done on his own head
and providing justice for the righteous
by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
because they have sinned against You,
and they return to You and praise Your name,
and they pray and plead for mercy
before You in this temple,
and forgive the sin of Your people Israel.
May You restore them to the land
You gave them and their ancestors.
