Contextual Overview

54 Solomon prayed this prayer to the Lord , kneeling in front of the altar with his arms raised toward heaven. When he finished praying, he got up. 55 Then, in a loud voice, he stood and blessed all the people of Israel, saying: 56 "Praise the Lord ! He promised he would give rest to his people Israel, and he has given us rest. The Lord has kept all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses. 57 May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors. May he never leave us, 58 and may he turn us to himself so we will follow him. Let us obey all the laws and commands he gave our ancestors. 59 May the Lord our God remember this prayer day and night and do what is right for his servant and his people Israel day by day. 60 Then all the people of the world will know the Lord is the only true God. 61 You must fully obey the Lord our God and follow all his laws and commands. Continue to obey in the future as you do now."

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

let these my words: This and the following verse are a sort of supplement to the prayer; and there is an important addition to this prayer in 2 Chronicles 6:41, 2 Chronicles 6:42, apparently taken from one of the Psalms.

nigh: Psalms 102:1, Psalms 102:2, Psalms 141:2, John 17:9, John 17:20-24, 1 John 2:2

at all times: Heb. the thing of a day in his day, Luke 11:3

as the matter: Deuteronomy 33:25

Reciprocal: Ephesians 6:18 - supplication

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord,.... At this time:

be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night; be continually remembered and regarded by him, that so gracious answers might always be returned to those who supplicated in this place:

that he maintain the cause of his servant; of himself and his successors in the throne, that they may continue to possess it in peace, to the glory of God, and the good of the people:

and the cause of his people Israel at all times: that their rights and privileges might be continued, and they supported in them; and both his cause and theirs be regarded:

as the matter shall require; as they should stand in need of assistance, direction, and protection.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 59. And let these my words — This and the following verse is a sort of supplement to the prayer which ended 1 Kings 8:53; but there is an important addition to this prayer in the parallel place, 2 Chronicles 6:41-42: "Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness. O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant."
