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!
61 Que votre cœur soit tout à l’Éternel, notre Dieu, comme il l’est aujourd’hui, pour suivre ses lois et pour observer ses commandements.
