¹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 31, 38).

² tn Heb “their prayer and their requests for help.”

³ tn Heb “and accomplish their justice.”

³ tn Heb “listen to the requests of your servant and your people Israel which they are praying concerning this place.”

⁴ tn Heb “hear and forgive.”

⁴ tn The present translation understands כִּי (ki) in an emphatic or asseverative sense (“Certainly”). Other translation have “indeed” (NASB), “when” (NRSV), “so” (NEB), or leave the word untranslated (NIV).

⁵ tn Heb “the good way in which they should walk.”

⁶ tn Or “for an inheritance.”

⁵ tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

⁶ tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

⁷ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

⁶ tn Heb “over whom my name is called.” The Hebrew idiom “call the name over” indicates ownership. See 2 Sam 12:28.

⁷ tn Heb “seek my face,” where “my face” is figurative for God’s presence and acceptance.

⁸ tn Heb “and turn from their sinful ways.”

⁹ tn Heb “hear.”
