56BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068, that hath givenH5414 restH4496 unto his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, according to all that he promisedH1696: there hath not failedH5307 oneH259 wordH1697 of all his goodH2896 promiseH1697, which he promisedH1696 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 his servantH5650.1
57YhwhH3068 our GodH430 be with us, as he was with our fathersH1: let him not leaveH5800 us, nor forsakeH5203 us:
58That he may inclineH5186 our heartsH3824 unto him, to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his statutesH2706, and his judgmentsH4941, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1.
59And let these my wordsH1697, wherewith I have made supplicationH2603 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, be nighH7138 unto YhwhH3068 our GodH430 dayH3119 and nightH3915, that he maintainH6213 the causeH4941 of his servantH5650, and the causeH4941 of his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 at all timesH3117, as the matterH1697 shall require:2
60That all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that YhwhH3068 is GodH430, and that there is none else.
61Let your heartH3824 therefore be perfectH8003 with YhwhH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his statutesH2706, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, as at this dayH3117.
