Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication

12 ^aThen¹ Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

13 (for Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven);

14 and he said: “Lord God of Israel, ^athere is no God in heaven or on earth like You, who keep Your ^bcovenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

15 ^aYou have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.
