O <sc>Lordsc>,<n id="1" /> truly I have built a lofty temple for you, a place where you can live permanently.&#8221;

<p class="poetry">Dark clouds surround him;p> <p class="poetry">equity and justice are the foundation of his throne.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">You will bring them in<n id="1" /> and plant them in the mountain<n id="2" /> of your inheritance,p> <p class="poetry">in the place you made<n id="3" /> for your residence, O Lord,p> <p class="poetry">the sanctuary, O <sc>Lordsc>, that your hands have established.p>

then listen from your heavenly dwelling place to their prayers for help<n id="1" /> and vindicate them.<n id="2" />

<p class="poetry">Equity and justice are the foundation of your throne.<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">Loyal love and faithfulness characterize your rule.<n id="2" />p>

It also acted arrogantly against the Prince of the army,<n id="1" /> from whom<n id="2" /> the daily sacrifice was removed and whose sanctuary<n id="3" /> was thrown down.

then listen from your heavenly dwelling place, forgive their sin,<n id="1" /> and act favorably toward each one based on your evaluation of his motives.<n id="2" /> (Indeed you are the only one who can correctly evaluate the motives of all people.)<n id="3" />

<p class="poetry">Then the <sc>Lordsc> will createp> <p class="poetry">over all of Mount Zion<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and over its convocationsp> <p class="poetry">a cloud and smoke by dayp> <p class="poetry">and a bright flame of fire by night;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">indeed a canopy will accompany the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s glorious presence.<n id="3" />p>

Then listen from your heavenly dwelling place and answer all the prayers of the foreigners.<n id="1" /> Then all the nations of the earth will acknowledge your reputation,<n id="2" /> obey<n id="3" /> you like your people Israel do, and recognize that this temple I built belongs to you.<n id="4" />p>
