51. (for they are Your people and Your inheritance which You have brought forth from Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace),
52. that Your eyes may be open to the supplication of Your servant and to the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You.
53. For You have separated them from all the peoples of the earth as Your inheritance, as You spoke through Moses Your servant, when You brought our fathers forth from Egypt, O Lord God."
54. When Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and supplication to the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward heaven.
55. And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying:
56. "Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised; not one word has failed of all His good promise, which He promised through Moses His servant.
57. May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; may He not leave us or forsake us,
58. that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers.
59. And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, as each day requires,
60. so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no one else.
61. Let your heart therefore be wholly devoted to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments, as at this day."
62. Now the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifice before the Lord.
