"When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they 

 have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and 

 confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest 

 them: Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy 

 servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the 

 good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy 

 land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance. 

 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blast- 

 ing mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if their enemy 

 besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, 

 whatsoever sickness there be; What prayer and supplication 

 soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, 

 which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and 

 spread forth his hands toward this house: Then hear thou 

 in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give 

 to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou know- 

 est; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the 

 children of men;)

Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people 

 Israel, according to all that he promised; there hath not 

 failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by 

 the hand of Moses his servant. The Lord our God be with) 

 us, as he was with our fathers : let him not leave us, nor for- 

 sake us : That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in 

 all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, 

 and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers." 



I Kings 8:35-39**56-57-58.
