20 that Your eyes may be aopen toward this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your name, that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes btoward this place.  
21 And may You hear the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and when You hear, aforgive.  
22 “If anyone sins against his neighbor, and is forced to take an aoath, and comes and takes an oath before Your altar in this temple,  
23 then hear from heaven, and act, and judge Your servants, bringing retribution on the wicked by bringing his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous by giving him according to his arighteousness.
