1 Kings 8:55-58

55When he stood up, he asked God to bless all the people in Israel. He said with a loud voice,

56‘Praise the Lord as he deserves! He has given his people, the Israelites, a safe place to live, as he has promised to do. Every great promise that the Lord gave to his servant Moses has now happened!

57I pray that the Lord our God will be with us, as he was with our ancestors. I pray that he will never leave us or turn away from us.

58I pray that the Lord will cause us to respect his authority. Then we will do what he wants us to do. We will obey all his commands, rules and laws that he gave to our ancestors.
