¹⁷ I know, my God,
    that you have tested my heart,
and that you are pleased with
    the integrity of my heart.
I have willingly offered you all these things.
And now I have seen your people who are present here.
They joyfully and willingly make
    this offering to you.
¹⁸ O Lord, God of our fathers,
    of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
keep this desire in the inner thoughts
    of your people forever,
    and make their hearts loyal to you.
¹⁹ Give my son Solomon a pure heart
    so that he might observe your commandments, your ordinances, and your statutes,
and do everything to build the temple
    for which I have made provision.”
