1 Kings 8:50-53

English Standard Version

⁵⁰ and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions that they have committed against you, and ^(A)grant them compassion in the sight of those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them ⁵¹ (^(B)for they are your people, and your heritage, which you brought out of Egypt, ^(C)from the midst of the iron furnace). ^52 (D)Let your eyes be open to the plea of your servant and to the plea of your people Israel, giving ear to them whenever they call to you. ⁵³ For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your heritage, ^(E)as you declared through Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.”
