Expanded Bible

⁵⁷ May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors. May he never leave or ·abandon [forsake] us, ⁵⁸ and may he ·turn us [^Lincline/stretch out our hearts/desires] to himself so we will ·follow him [^Lwalk in his ways]. Let us obey all the ·laws [commandments], ·rules [statutes; decrees] and ·commands [regulations; judgments] he gave our ancestors. ⁵⁹ May the Lord our God ·remember [^Lkeep near] ·this prayer [these words of mine that I have prayed/pleaded] day and night and ·do what is right [act with justice/judgment; or uphold/maintain their cause] for his servant and his people Israel ·day by day [according to the needs of each day].
