Lord God of Israel,
there is no god like you in heaven or on earth.
You keep your promise [a] of mercy to your servants,
who obey you wholeheartedly.

With your mouth you promised it.
With your hand you carried it out as it is today.

sitting in front of me on the throne of Israel
if your descendants are faithful to me
as you have been faithful to me.’
