1 Kings 8:56-61

56“The Lord is worthy of praise because he has made Israel his people secure just as he promised! Not one of all the faithful promises he made through his servant Moses is left unfulfilled!

57May the Lord our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors. May he not abandon us or leave us.

58May he make us submissive, so we can follow all his instructions and obey the commandments, rules, and regulations he commanded our ancestors.

59May the Lord our God be constantly aware of these requests of mine I have presented to him, so that he might vindicate his servant and his people Israel as the need arises.

60Then all the nations of the earth will recognize that the Lord is the only genuine God.

61May you demonstrate wholehearted devotion to the Lord our God by following his rules and obeying his commandments, as you are presently doing.”
