19Yet turn toward the prayer of your servant and his plea for favor, O Yahweh my God, to hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying before you.

20that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, toward the place where you said you would put your name, to hear the prayer that your servant prays toward this place.
