2 Chronicles 6:19-21
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
19 Yet have regard to the prayer of thy servant and to his supplication, O Lord my God, hearkening to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee; 20 that thy eyes may be open day and night toward this house, the place where thou hast promised to set thy name, that thou mayest hearken to the prayer which thy servant offers toward this place. 21 And hearken thou to the supplications of thy servant and of thy people Israel, when they pray toward this place; yea, hear thou from heaven[a] thy dwelling place; and when thou hearest, forgive.

- 6.21 hear thou from heaven: This phrase recurs like a refrain throughout this prayer, which seems to have been given a liturgical form.
