1 Kings 8:54-61

54And it was soH1961, that when SolomonH8010 had madeH1961 an endH3615 of prayingH6419 allH3605 this prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 unto the LORDH3068, he aroseH6965 from beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, from kneelingH3766 on his kneesH1290 with his handsH3709 spreadH6566 forth towardH413 heavenH8064.

55And he stoodH5975, and blessedH1288 allH3605 the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, sayingH559,

56BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, that hath givenH5414 restH4496 unto his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, accordingH3027 to allH3605 that he promisedH1696: there hath notH3808 failedH5307 one wordH1697 of allH3605 his goodH2896 promiseH1697, whichH834 he promisedH1696 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 his servantH5650.

57The LORDH3068 our GodH430 be with usH834, as he was with our fathersH1: letH408 him notH408 leaveH5800 usH834, norH408 forsakeH5203 usH834:

58that he may inclineH5186 our heartsH3824 unto him, to walkH1870 in allH3605 his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his statutesH2706, and his judgmentsH4941, whichH834 he commandedH6680 our fathersH1.

59And letH1961 theseH428 my wordsH1697, wherewith I have madeH6213 supplication beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, be nigh unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430 dayH3117 and nightH3915, that he maintain the causeH4941 of his servantH5650, and the causeH4941 of his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, as everyH3117 dayH3117 shall require:

60that allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that the LORDH3068, he is GodH430; there is noneH369 elseH5750.

61LetH1961 your heartH3824 therefore be perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to walk in his statutesH2706, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, as at this dayH3117.
