1 Kings 8:57-59

International Standard Version

⁵⁷ May the Lord our God be with us, just as he was with our ancestors. May he never leave us or abandon us, ⁵⁸ so that he may turn our hearts toward him, so that we may live life^[a] his way, keeping his commands, statutes, and ordinances that he gave to our ancestors. ⁵⁹ And may what I’ve had to say to the Lord remain with the Lord our God both day and night, so that he may defend the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as the need of the day may require it,
