Melachim Alef 8:55-62 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

55. And he stood, and made on Kol Kehal Yisroel a berakhah with a kol gadol (loud voice), saying,

56. Baruch Hashem, that hath given menuchah unto His people Yisroel, according to all that He promised: there hath not failed one davar of all His good promise, which He promised by yad Moshe His Eved.

57. Hashem Eloheinu be immanu (with us), as He was with Avoteinu; let Him not leave us, nor forsake us;

58. That He may incline levavenu (our hearts) unto Him, to walk in all his ways, and to be shomer over His mitzvot, and His chukkot, and His mishpatim, which He commanded Avoteinu.

59. And let these my words, wherewith I have made techinnah before Hashem, be kerovim (near ones) unto Hashem Eloheinu yomam valailah that He maintain the mishpat (cause) of His eved, and the mishpat of His people Yisroel at all times, as each day requires;

60. That all the peoples of ha'aretz may know that Hashem hu HaElohim and that there is none else.

61. Let your lev therefore be shalem with Hashem Eloheinu, to walk in His chukkot, to be shomer over His mitzvot, as at this day.

62. And HaMelech, and kol Yisroel with him, offered zevach (sacrifice) before Hashem.
