1 Kings 8:51-53

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵¹ (for they are your people and heritage that you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron smelter).^{(A) 52} Let your eyes be open to the plea of your servant and to the plea of your people Israel, listening to them whenever they call to you. ⁵³ For you have separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your heritage, just as you promised through Moses, your servant, when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt, O Lord God.”^(B)
