Mussar zu Könige I 8:28

וּפָנִ֜יתָ אֶל־תְּפִלַּ֧ת עַבְדְּךָ֛ וְאֶל־תְּחִנָּת֖וֹ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑י לִשְׁמֹ֤עַ אֶל־הָֽרִנָּה֙ וְאֶל־הַתְּפִלָּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֧ר עַבְדְּךָ֛ מִתְפַּלֵּ֥ל לְפָנֶ֖יךָ הַיּֽוֹם׃

[Aber dieses Heiligtum diene dazu], dass du dich [an dieser Stätte] zu dem Gebete deines Knechtes wendest und zu seinem Flehen, Herr, mein Gott, zu hören auf den Ruf und das Gebet, welches dein Knecht heute vor dir betet.

Menorat HaMaor

When the priests say, "May He bless you," each and every one in the congregation quietly says: Look down from Your holy abode, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel and the soil You have given us, a land flowing with milk and honey, as You swore to our fathers (Deuteronomy 26:15). And when they say, "the Lord," the congregation says: The Lord, the Lord, mighty, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in love and truth (Exodus 32:6). And when they say, "and may He guard you," the congregation says: Guard me like the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings (Psalms 17:8). And when they say, "May [the Lord] shine" the congregation says: O Lord, my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me (Psalms 30:3). And when they say, "to you," the congregation says: To You, O Lord, do I lift my soul (Psalms 25:1). And when they say, "and give you grace" the congregation says: Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, for my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings will I take refuge (Psalms 57:2). And when they say, "May He lift," the congregation says: He shall lift [bear] a blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation (Psalms 24:5). And when they say, "the Lord," the congregation says: The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup, You maintain my lot (Psalms 16:5). And when they say, "His face," the congregation says: Yet turn Your face to the prayer of Your servant and Your people, Israel (see I Kings 8:28). And when they say, "to you," the congregation says: To You did I lift my eyes (Psalms 123:1). And when they say, "and give," the congregation says: give [put] my tears into Your flask, into Your record (Psalms 56:9). And when they say, "to you," the congregation says: To You, Lord is greatness, might, splendor, triumph, and majesty; yes, all that is in heaven and on earth (I Chronicles 29:11). And when they say, "peace," the congregation says: Great peace to the lovers of Your Torah and may there be no stumbling block in their way (Psalms 119:165).
