1 Kings 8:58

That he may incline our hearts unto him
By his Spirit, to love, fear, and serve him; to attend to his worship, word, and ordinances:

to walk in all his ways;
he has prescribed and directed to:

and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments,
which he commanded our fathers;
all his laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial.

1 Kings 8:58 In-Context

56 Praise be to the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, as he gave them his word to do; every word of all his oath, which he gave by the hand of Moses his servant, has come true.

57 Now may the Lord our God be with us as he was with our fathers; let him never go away from us or give us up;

58 Turning our hearts to himself, guiding us to go in all his ways, to keep his orders and his laws and his decisions, which he gave to our fathers.

59 And may these my words, the words of my prayer to the Lord, be before the Lord our God day and night, so that he may see right done to his servant and to his people Israel, day by day as we have need.

60 So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the Lord is God, and there is no other.
