30 Hear thou then in heaven, thy dwelling place, and be merciful, and give every man according unto all his ways, as thou dost know his [a]heart (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men)

31 That they may fear thee, and walk in thy ways, as long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

29 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— 30 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place.
