1 Kings

1 Kings 8:51–53

⁵¹For they are Your people and Your inheritance; You brought them out of Egypt, out of the furnace for iron. ⁵²May Your eyes be open to the pleas of Your servant and of Your people Israel, and may You listen to them whenever they call to You. ⁵³For You, O Lord GOD, have set them apart from all the peoples of the earth as Your inheritance, as You spoke through Your servant Moses when You brought our fathers out of Egypt.”
