1 Kings 8:54-61

54Now whenH1961 SolomonH8010 had finishedH3615 prayingH6419 thisH2063 entireH3605 prayerH8605 and petitionH8467 toH413 the LORDH3068, he got upH6965 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, where he had been kneelingH3766H5921H1290 with his handsH3709 spread outH6566 toward heavenH8064. 55And he stoodH5975 and blessedH1288 the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 in a loudH1419 voiceH6963, sayingH559:

56“BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, whoH834 has givenH5414 restH4496 to His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 according to allH3605 thatH834 He promisedH1696. NotH3808 oneH259 wordH1697 has failedH5307 of allH3605 the goodH2896 promisesH1697 He madeH1696 throughH3027 His servantH5650 MosesH4872.

57May the LORDH3068 our GodH430 beH1961 with usH5973, asH834 He wasH1961 withH5973 our fathersH1. May He neverH408 leave usH5800 orH408 forsake usH5203. 58May He inclineH5186 our heartsH3824 to HimselfH413, to walkH1980 in allH3605 His waysH1870 and to keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 and statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941 He commandedH6680 our fathersH1.

59And mayH1961 theseH428 wordsH1697 with whichH834 I have made my petitionH2603 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 be nearH7138H413 to the LORDH3068 our GodH430 dayH3119 and nightH3915, so that He may upholdH6213 the causeH4941 of His servantH5650 and of His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 as each dayH3117 requiresH1697, 60so thatH4616 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 thatH3588 the LORDH3068H1931 is GodH430. There is noH369 otherH5750!

61So let your heartH3824 beH1961 fully devotedH8003 toH5973 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, as it isH3117 this dayH2088, to walkH1980 in His statutesH2706 and to keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687.”
