541When SolomonH8010 had finishedH3615 prayingH6419 thisH2088 entireH3605 prayerH8605 and pleaH8467 to the LordH3068, 2he stoodH6965 upH6965 from the altarH4196 of the LordH3068, from kneelingH3766 on his kneesH1290 with his 3handsH3709 spreadH6566 toward heavenH8064. 55And he stoodH5975 and 4blessedH1288 allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, sayingH559:

56“BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, whoH834 has givenH5414 restH4496 to His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 5in accordance with everythingH3605 that He 6promisedH1696; 7not oneH259 wordH1697 has 8failedH5307 of allH3605 His goodH2896 9promiseH1697, whichH834 He 10promisedH1696 throughH3027 MosesH4872 His servantH5650. 57May the LordH3068 our GodH430 be with us, as He was with our fathersH1; 11may He not leaveH5800 us norH408 forsakeH5203 us, 58so that 12He may guideH5186 our heartsH3824 towardH413 Himself, to walkH1980 in allH3605 His waysH1870 and to keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687, His statutesH2706, and His ordinancesH4941, whichH834 He commandedH6680 our fathersH1. 59And may theseH428 wordsH1697 of mine, with whichH834 I have imploredH2603 the 13favorH2603 of the LordH3068, be nearH7138 to the LordH3068 our GodH430 dayH3119 and nightH3915, so that He will maintainH6213 the causeH4941 of His servantH5650 and the causeH4941 of His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, 14as eachH3117 dayH3117 requiresH1697, 60soH4616 15that allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that 16the LordH3068 is GodH430; thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 elseH5750. 6117Your heartsH3824 therefore shall be 18whollyH8003 devotedH8003 to the LordH3068 our GodH430, to walkH1980 in His statutesH2706 and to keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687, as at thisH2088 dayH3117.”
