Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication

22 Then Solomon stood before ^athe altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and ^bspread out his hands toward heaven;

23 and he said: “Lord God of Israel, ^athere is no God in heaven above or on earth below like You, ^bwho keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who ^cwalk before You with all their hearts.

24 You 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.

25 Therefore, Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, ^a‘You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.’

26 ^aAnd now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father.
