54 And when Solomon had made an end of praying all this [a]prayer and supplication unto the Lord, he rose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees, and stretching of his hands to heaven,
55 And stood and blessed all the Congregation of Israel, with a loud voice, saying,
56 Blessed be the Lord that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, that he forsake us not, neither leave us,
58 That he may [b]bow our hearts unto him, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his laws, which he commanded our fathers.
59 And these my words, which I have prayed before the Lord, be near unto the Lord our God day and night, that he defend the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel [c]always as the matter requireth,
60 That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord is God, and none other.
61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as this day.
