Solomon’s prayer before the LORD’s altar, his hands spread out toward heaven

여호와의 단 앞에서 하늘을 향하여 손을 편 솔로몬의 기도

1 Kings 8:22–30: Solomon stands before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads out his hands toward heaven; and he says, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart; who has kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today. Now therefore, may LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’ Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father. But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built! Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today; that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward this place. Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.” At 8:23 the Korean Revised Version reads 주와 같은 신이 없나이다 (there is no god like you); at 8:25 it gives the LORD’s word with its condition first and ends the verse with the request, 이제 다윗을 위하여 그 허하신 말씀을 지키시옵소서 (now keep for David the word you promised).
