Solomon Blesses Yahweh

^54 (A)Now it happened that when Solomon had ^[a]finished praying this entire prayer and supplication to Yahweh, ^(B)he arose from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling on his knees with his ^[b]hands spread toward heaven. ⁵⁵ And he stood and ^(C)blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying:

⁵⁶ “Blessed be Yahweh, who has given rest to His people Israel, ^(D)according to all that He ^[c]promised; ^(E)not one promise has ^[d]failed of all His good ^[e]promises, which He ^[f]promised by the hand of Moses His ^[g]servant. ⁵⁷ May Yahweh our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; ^(F)may He not forsake us or abandon us, ⁵⁸ that ^(G)He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers. ⁵⁹ And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before Yahweh, be near to Yahweh our God day and night, that He may do justice for His slave and justice for His people Israel, ^[h]as each day requires, ⁶⁰ so ^(H)that all the peoples of the earth may know that ^(I)Yahweh is God; there is no one else. ^61 (J)Let your heart therefore be ^[i]wholly devoted to Yahweh our God, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments, as at this day.”
