1Solomon was like, "God's chillin' in the thick darkness, no cap."

2"But I built you a dope crib, a forever spot to vibe."

3The king turned and blessed all of Israel, and everyone stood up, feeling the energy.

4He said, "Big ups to the Lord God of Israel, who came through on what He promised to my dad David."

5"Since I brought my peeps outta Egypt, I didn’t pick a city to build a house for my name, nor chose a ruler for my people."

6"But I picked Jerusalem for my name and chose David to lead my crew."

7"David, my dad, was all about building a house for the Lord's name."

8"But God told David, 'You did good wanting to build me a house, for real.'"

9"But you ain't building it; your son will come through and build it for my name."

10"So God kept it 100 with His word; I’m on the throne of Israel now, just like He promised, and I built the house for the Lord God of Israel."

11I put the ark in there, where the covenant with the Lord chillin' with the squad of Israel, no cap.

12He pulled up to the altar of the Lord with everyone watching, arms wide open like, "What's good?"

13Solomon built this dope scaffold, five cubits long and wide, three high, and he stood on it, kneeling before the squad, hands up to heaven, fr.

14He said, "Yo, Lord God of Israel, ain't no one like You up in heaven or on earth; You keep it real with the covenant and show mad mercy to your peeps who vibe with You."

15You kept it 100 with your boy David, my dad, fulfilling all the promises You made, and it’s lit today.

16So, Lord God of Israel, keep it going with David like You promised, saying no one gonna miss out on the throne of Israel; just make sure his kids stay on the path and keep it law-abiding, like he did.

17So, Lord God of Israel, let Your word pop off, just like You told David, fr.

18But for real, can God actually chill with humans on earth? I mean, heaven and the highest heaven can't even handle You; how's this house I built gonna do it?

19So, show some love to my prayer, Lord my God, and listen to the cries and prayers I’m sending up to You.

20Keep Your eyes on this house day and night, the spot where You said You’d put Your name; listen to the prayers I’m sending Your way.

21So listen up to the vibes of your servant and your peeps, Israel, when they hit you up from this spot: hear from your crib in heaven, and when you do, just forgive, no cap.

22If someone does their neighbor dirty and has to swear an oath, and that oath gets brought to your altar in this house;

23Then hear from heaven, do your thing, and judge your servants, by giving the wicked what they deserve and showing love to the righteous, keeping it real with their good vibes.

24And if your people Israel are struggling against the enemy 'cause they messed up, and they come back to confess your name, pray, and ask for help in this house;

25Then hear from the heavens, forgive your people Israel, and bring them back to the land you gave them and their fam.

26When the sky's dry and no rain’s falling 'cause they sinned against you; if they pray towards this spot, confess your name, and turn from their wrongs when you’re putting them through it;

27Then hear from heaven and forgive your servants and your people Israel, when you've shown them the right way to go; send some rain on the land you gave your people as their inheritance.

28If there’s a drought, pestilence, or any bad vibes like locusts or caterpillars, or if their enemies are coming for them in their cities; whatever sickness or struggle there is:

29Then whatever prayer or request is made by anyone, or all your people Israel, when they know their own pain and raise their hands in this house:

30Then hear from heaven, where you chill, and forgive, and give each person what they deserve, 'cause you know what's in their hearts; you’re the only one who knows what’s up with the hearts of humans.

31So they can vibe with you, walk your ways, as long as they chill in the land you gave to our fam.

32And for the outsider, who ain't from Israel but rolls through from far away for your epic name, your strong hand, and your reach; if they pull up and pray in this spot;

33Then hear from the heavens, your crib, and do whatever the outsider asks; so everyone on earth knows your name and vibes with you, just like your people Israel, and knows this house I built is all about your name.

34If your squad goes to battle against their haters by the way you send them, and they pray towards this city you picked and the house I built for your name;

35Then hear from the heavens their prayers and their cries, and back them up.

36If they mess up (no one is perfect, fr), and you get mad and hand them over to their enemies, and they get taken away to a land far or close;

37But if they realize what’s up in the land where they’re taken, and turn and pray to you in their struggle, saying, "We messed up, we did wrong, we were savage";

38If they come back to you with all their heart and soul in the land of their struggle, where they got taken, and pray towards their land, which you gave to their fam, and towards the city you chose, and the house I built for your name:

39Then hear from the heavens, your crib, their prayers and cries, back them up, and forgive your people who messed up.

40Now, my God, I’m asking you, open your eyes, and let your ears be tuned to the prayers made in this place.

41Yo, rise up, Lord God, and chill in your spot, with the ark of your strength. Let your priests be dripped in salvation, and let your peeps vibe with goodness.

42Lord God, don’t ghost your anointed one: remember the good vibes you showed to David, your homie.

1Then said Solomon, The Lord hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

2But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

3And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

4And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,

5Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

6But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

7Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

8But the Lord said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:

9Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

10The Lord therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

11And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, that he made with the children of Israel.

12And he stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

13For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,

14And said, O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

15Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.

16Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

17Now then, O Lord God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.

18But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

19Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

20That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

21Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

22If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

23Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

24And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;

25Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

26When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

27Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.

28If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:

29Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

30Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)

31That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

32Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;

33Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

34If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

35Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

36If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

37Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

38If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:

39Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.

40Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

41Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

42O Lord God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
