That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

Verse 52 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.

Laß deine Augen offen sein auf das Flehen deines Knechtes und deines Volkes Israel, daß du sie hörest in allem, darum sie dich anrufen;
Que tus ojos estén abiertos a la oración de tu siervo, y a la plegaria de tu pueblo Israel, para oirlos en todo aquello por lo que te invocaren:
Que tus ojos estén abiertos a la súplica de tu servidor y a la súplica de tu pueblo Israel, para escucharlos siempre que clamen a ti.
Que tes yeux soient ouverts sur la supplication de ton serviteur et sur la supplication de ton peuple d'Israël, pour les exaucer en tout ce qu'ils te demanderont!
Sieno gli occhi tuoi aperti alla supplicazione del tuo servitore, ed alla supplicazione del tuo popolo Israele, per esaudirli in tutto ciò per che t’invocheranno.
Para que teus olhos estejam abertos à súplica do teu servo e à súplica do teu povo Israel, a fim de os ouvires em tudo quanto clamarem a ti.
願你的眼目看顧僕人和你百姓 以色列 的祈求;他們無論何時向你呼求,願你垂聽。
