1 Kings 8:56-58
New English Translation

56 “The Lord is worthy of praise because he has made Israel his people secure[a] just as he promised! Not one of all the faithful promises he made through his servant Moses is left unfulfilled![b] 57 May the Lord our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors. May he not abandon us or leave us. 58 May he make us submissive,[c] so we can follow all his instructions[d] and obey[e] the commandments, rules, and regulations he commanded our ancestors.
