1 Kings 8:52-54
New English Translation
52 “May you be attentive[a] to your servant’s and your people Israel’s requests for help and may you respond to all their prayers to you.[b] 53 After all,[c] you picked them out of all the nations of the earth to be your special possession,[d] just as you, O Sovereign Lord, announced through your servant Moses when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt.”
54 When Solomon finished presenting all these prayers and requests to the Lord, he got up from before the altar of the Lord where he had kneeled and spread out his hands toward the sky.[e]
