‘My name will be great among the nations, from the rising of the sun to its setting. Incense and pure offerings will be presented in my name in every place because my name will be great among the nations,’ says the Lord of Armies.
I will honour the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations #– #the name you have profaned among them. The nations will know that I am the Lord #– #this is the declaration of the Lord God #– #when I demonstrate my holiness through you in their sight.
may you hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all the foreigner asks. Then all peoples of earth will know your name, to fear you as your people Israel do and to know that this temple I have built bears your name.
On that day it will be said, ‘Look, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he has saved us. This is the Lord; we have waited for him. Let’s rejoice and be glad in his salvation.’
Lord of Armies, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you are God #– #you alone #– #of all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.
Let the priests, the Lord’s ministers, weep between the portico and the altar. Let them say, ‘Have pity on your people, Lord, and do not make your inheritance a disgrace, an object of scorn among the nations. Why should it be said among the peoples, “Where is their God? ” ’
May my words with which I have made my petition before the Lord be near the Lord our God day and night. May he uphold his servant’s cause and the cause of his people Israel, as each day requires.
