The Concluding Blessing

54

And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.

55

And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying:

56

Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.

57

The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off:

58

But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.

59

And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel, day by day:

60

That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.

61

Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day.
