Contextual Overview

54 And when Solomon had made an ende of praying all this prayer and supplication vnto the Lorde, he arose from before the aulter of the Lorde, & from kneling on his knees, & from stretching of his handes vp to heauen, 55 And stoode & blessed all the congregatio of Israel, with a loude voyce, saying: 56 Blessed be the Lorde that hath geuen rest vnto his people Israel, according to al that he promised: there hath not fayled one worde of all the good promise which he promised by the hand of Moyses his seruaunt. 57 The Lorde our God be with vs, as he was with our fathers, and forsake vs not, neither leaue vs: 58 But that he may bowe our heartes vnto him, that we may walke in all his wayes, & kepe his commaundementes, his statutes, and his lawes whiche he commaunded our fathers. 59 And these my wordes whiche I haue prayed before the Lorde, be nye vnto the Lorde our God day and night, that he defende the cause of his seruaunt, and the cause of his people Israel, what thing soeuer chaunce at any time: 60 That al nations of ye earth may knowe that the Lord is God, and none but he. 61 Let your heart therfore be perfect with the Lord our God, that ye walke in his statutes, and kepe his commaundementes, as this day.

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."
