11:008:049 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication
in heaven
thy
dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
11:008:050 And forgive thy people that have sinned
against thee, and all
their
transgressions wherein they have transgressed against
thee,
and give them compassion before them who carried them
captive,
that they may have compassion on them:
11:008:051 For they be thy people, and thine inheritance,
which thou
broughtest
forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace
of
iron:
11:008:052 That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication
of thy
servant,
and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to
hearken
unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
11:008:053 For thou didst separate them from among
all the people of the
earth,
to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand
of
Moses
thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of
Egypt,
O lord God.
11:008:054 And it was so, that when Solomon had made
an end of praying
all
this prayer and supplication unto the lord, he
arose from
before
the altar of the lord, from kneeling on his knees
with
his
hands spread up to heaven.
11:008:055 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation
of Israel with
a
loud voice, saying,
11:008:056 Blessed be the lord, that hath given
rest unto his people
Israel,
according to all that he promised: there hath
not
failed
one word of all his good promise, which he promised
by
the
hand of Moses his servant.
11:008:057 The lord our God be with us, as he
was with our fathers: let
him
not leave us, nor forsake us:
11:008:058 That he may incline our hearts unto him,
to walk in all his
ways,
and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and
his
judgments,
which he commanded our fathers.
11:008:059 And let these my words, wherewith I have
made supplication
before
the lord, be nigh unto the lord our God day
and night,
that
he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause
of
his
people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
11:008:060 That all the people of the earth may know
that the lord is
God,
and that there is none else.
11:008:061 Let your heart therefore be perfect with
the lord our God, to
walk
in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at
this
day.
11:008:062 And the king, and all Israel with him,
offered sacrifice
before
the lord.
