1 Kings 8:58 in Context — 1 Kings 8

56 Béni soit l’Éternel, qui a donné du repos à son peuple d’Israël, selon toutes ses promesses! De toutes les bonnes paroles qu’il avait prononcées par Moïse, son serviteur, aucune n’est restée sans effet.

57 Que l’Éternel, notre Dieu, soit avec nous, comme il a été avec nos pères; qu’il ne nous abandonne point et ne nous délaisse point,

58 mais qu’il incline nos cœurs vers lui, afin que nous marchions dans toutes ses voies, et que nous observions ses commandements, ses lois et ses ordonnances, qu’il a prescrits à nos pères!

59 Que ces paroles, objet de mes supplications devant l’Éternel, soient jour et nuit présentes à l’Éternel, notre Dieu, et qu’il fasse en tout temps droit à son serviteur et à son peuple d’Israël,

60 afin que tous les peuples de la terre reconnaissent que l’Éternel est Dieu, qu’il n’y en a point d’autre!
