Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded.
1 Kings 8:41 `And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and hath come from a land afar off for Thy name's sake--
1 Kings 8:42 (for they hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy stretched-out arm) --and he hath come in and prayed towards this house,
1 Kings 8:43 Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded.
1 Kings 8:44 `When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemy, in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto Jehovah the way of the city which thou hast fixed on, and of the house which I have builded for Thy name;
1 Kings 8:45 then Thou hast heard in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause.
The verse centers on "called", "thou", "dost", "hear", "heavens", "settled", "place", and "dwelling". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "called" and "thou", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 42's "for they hear of Thy great name..." into verse 44's "When Thy people doth go out to...", so "called" and "thou" belong inside that flow. In 1 Kings context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "called" and "thou" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
