Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication(A)
22 Then Solomon took his place in front of the Lord’s altar in the presence of the entire congregation of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven, 23 and said:
“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.
