King James Bible
O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.

American Standard Version
O Jehovah God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember thy lovingkindnesses to David thy servant.

Young's Literal Translation
O Jehovah God, turn not back the face of Thine anointed, be mindful of the kind acts of David Thy servant.'

2 Chronicles 6:42 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Turn not away the face of thine anointed - "At least do me good; and if not for my sake, do it for thy own sake." - Jarchi.

These two last verses are not in the parallel place in 1 Kings 8:22-53. There are other differences between the two places in this prayer, but they are not of much consequence.
