So now, LORD God of Israel, keep what you promised my father David your servant when you said to him, "You will never fail to have a successor sitting on Israel's throne as long as your descendants carefully walk according to my Instruction, just as you have walked before me."

So now, LORD God of Israel, may your promise to your servant David come true.

LORD, my God, listen to your servant's prayer and request, and hear the cry and prayer that I your servant pray to you.

Constantly watch over this temple, the place where you promised to put your name, and listen to the prayer your servant is praying concerning this place.
