41 “People will hear about your great name,
    mighty hand, and powerful arm.[a]
    So when people who are not Israelites
come from distant countries because of your name
42 to pray facing this temple,
43 hear them in heaven, the place where you live.
    Do everything they ask you
        so that all the people of the world may know your name
            and fear you like your people Israel
            and learn also that this temple which I built bears your name.
