Verse 45 is found in chapter 8 of 1 Kings. Solomon even includes the foreigner who prays toward the temple, so that all peoples may know the name of the Lord. This request introduces a universal dimension into the dedication of a national sanctuary. Israel has a particular identity, but the fame and knowledge of the Lord are not restricted to Israel. The prayer connects the temple with God’s purpose of being known among the nations.

so wollest du ihr Gebet und Flehen hören im Himmel und Recht schaffen.
Tú oirás en los cielos su oración y su súplica, y les harás derecho.
escucha desde los cielos su oración y su súplica, y hazles justicia.
exauce des cieux leurs prières et leurs supplications, et fais-leur droit!
esaudisci dal cielo la sua orazione, e la sua supplicazione, e fagli ragione.
Ouve, então, nos céus a sua oração e a sua súplica, e faze-lhes justiça.
求你在天上垂聽他們的禱告祈求,為他們伸張正義。
