my father and have made me king in his place.

over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this
people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have
promised and with
your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.

keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him when you
said, ‘You shall never fail to
have a successor to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your
descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me according to my law, as
you have done.’

not reject your anointed one.

the great love promised to David your servant.”
