1 Kings 8:23-25

International Standard Version

“Lord God of Israel, there is no one like you, God in heaven above or on the earth below, who watches over^[a] his covenant, showing gracious love to your servants who live their lives in your presence^[b] with all their hearts. ²⁴ It is you, Lord God,^[c] who have kept your promise to my father, your servant David, that you made to him. Indeed, you made a commitment^[d] to my father David and then personally fulfilled^[e] what you had promised today.

²⁵ “Now therefore, Lord God of Israel, keep your promise that you made^[f] to my father, your servant David, when you said, ‘You will not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel,^[g] if only your descendants will watch their lives,^[h] to live^[i] in my presence just as you have lived^[j] in my presence.’^[k]
