Now then, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill for your servant David, my father, whatsoever you said to him, saying: 'There shall not fail to be a man from you before me, who will sit upon the throne of Israel, yet only if your sons will guard their ways, and will walk in my law, just as you also have walked before me.'
