Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

Verse 33 is found in chapter 6 of 2 Chronicles. Solomon includes the foreigner who prays toward the temple. This request broadens the horizon of the dedication: Jerusalem should be known among the nations as a place associated with the name of God. The prayer recognizes that divine action is not ethnically limited to Israel and that the nations may turn to the God of Israel.

so wollest du hören vom Himmel, vom Sitz deiner Wohnung, und tun alles, warum er dich anruft, auf daß alle Völker auf Erden deinen Namen erkennen und dich fürchten wie dein Volk Israel und innewerden, daß dies Haus, das ich gebaut habe, nach deinem Namen genannt sei.
Tú oirás desde los cielos, desde el lugar de tu morada, y harás conforme a todas las cosas por las cuales hubiere clamado a ti el extranjero; para que todos los pueblos de la tierra conozcan tu nombre, y te teman como tu pueblo Israel, y sepan que tu nombre es invocado sobre esta casa que he edificado yo.
escucha tú desde los cielos, desde el lugar de tu morada, y haz todo lo que el extranjero te pida. Así todos los pueblos de la tierra conocerán tu nombre y te temerán como tu pueblo Israel, y sabrán que tu nombre se invoca sobre esta casa que he construido.
exauce-le des cieux, du lieu de ta demeure, et accorde à cet étranger tout ce qu'il te demandera, afin que tous les peuples de la terre connaissent ton nom pour te craindre, comme ton peuple d'Israël, et sachent que ton nom est invoqué sur cette maison que j'ai bâtie!
ascoltalo dal cielo, dalla stanza della tua abitazione, e fa’ secondo tutto quello di che quel forestiere ti avrà invocato; acciocchè tutti i popoli della terra conoscano il tuo Nome, per temerti come il tuo popolo Israele, e per conoscere che questa Casa che io ho edificata, si chiama del tuo Nome.
Então, ouve tu desde os céus, do assento da tua habitação, e faze conforme a tudo o que o estrangeiro te suplicar; a fim de que todos os povos da terra conheçam o teu nome, e te temam, como o teu povo Israel; e a fim de saberem que pelo teu nome é chamada esta casa que edifiquei.
求你從天上你的居所垂聽,照著外邦人向你所求的一切而行,使地上萬民都認識你的名,敬畏你,像你的百姓 以色列 一樣,又使他們知道我所建造的是稱為你名下的殿。
