1 Kings 8:52

Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication

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, as Your inheritance, have set them apart from all the peoples of the earth, as You spoke through Your servant Moses when You brought our fathers out of Egypt.”
