Solomon’s Benediction

^54 (A)When Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and plea to the Lord, ^(B)he stood up from the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his ^[a]hands spread toward heaven. ⁵⁵ And he stood and ^(C)blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying:

⁵⁶ “Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel ^(D)in accordance with everything that He ^[b]promised; ^(E)not one word has ^[c]failed of all His good ^[d]promise, which He ^[e]promised through Moses His servant.
