²⁹ hear every prayer for mercy
    made by one person or by all the people in Israel,
        all who know suffering or pain,
            who stretch out their hands toward this temple.
³⁰ Hear them in heaven, where you live.
    Forgive them, and give each person the proper reply.
        (You know what is in their hearts,
            because you alone know what is in people’s hearts.)
³¹ Then, as long as they live in the land that you gave to our ancestors,
    they will fear you and follow you.
