Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)

Verse 39 is found in chapter 8 of 1 Kings. The prayer addresses specific cases involving oaths, sin, military defeat, and drought. Solomon asks God to judge justly and hear from heaven. The variety of situations shows that the temple is to function as a place for seeking God in ordinary and extraordinary circumstances. The true source of the response is not the building, but the God who hears from heaven.

so wollest du hören im Himmel, in dem Sitz, da du wohnst, und gnädig sein und schaffen, daß du gebest einem jeglichen, wie er gewandelt hat, wie du sein Herz erkennst, denn du allein kennst das Herz aller Kinder der Menschen,
Tú oirás en los cielos, en la habitación de tu morada, y perdonarás, y obrarás, y darás a cada uno conforme a sus caminos, cuyo corazón tú conoces; (porque sólo tú conoces el corazón de todos los hijos de los hombres;)
escucha tú desde los cielos, el lugar donde habitas; perdona, actúa y dale a cada uno según toda su conducta, pues conoces su corazón. Porque solo tú conoces el corazón de todos los seres humanos.
exauce-le des cieux, du lieu de ta demeure, et pardonne; agis, et rends à chacun selon ses voies, toi qui connais le coeur de chacun, car seul tu connais le coeur de tous les enfants des hommes,
Esaudiscila dal cielo, stanza della tua abitazione, e perdona, ed opera, e rendi a ciascuno secondo ogni sua via, come tu avrai conosciuto il suo cuore; perciocchè tu solo conosci il cuore di tutti i figliuoli degli uomini;
Ouve tu então nos céus, assento da tua habitação, e perdoa, e age, e dá a cada um conforme a todos os seus caminhos, e segundo vires o seu coração, porque só tu conheces o coração de todos os filhos dos homens.
求你在天上你的居所垂聽、赦免、處理。因為你知道人心,惟有你知道世人的心,求你照各人所行的一切待他們,
