Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 8 of 1 Kings. Solomon prays before the altar and remembers the covenant with David. He asks God to hear prayers directed toward this place. The temple appears primarily as a point of orientation for prayer and forgiveness, not as a magical object. The prayer recognizes that God’s covenant faithfulness precedes and grounds human petition.

Nun, HERR, Gott Israels, halte deinem Knecht, meinem Vater David, was du ihm verheißen hast und gesagt: Es soll dir nicht gebrechen an einem Mann vor mir, der da sitze auf dem Stuhl Israels, so doch, daß deine Kinder ihren Weg bewahren, daß sie vor mir wandeln, wie du vor mir gewandelt hast.
Ahora pues, Jehová Dios de Israel, cumple a tu siervo David mi padre lo que le prometiste, diciendo: No faltará varón de ti delante de mí, que se siente en el trono de Israel, con tal que tus hijos guarden su camino, que anden delante de mí como tú has delante de mí andado.
Ahora, Jehová, Dios de Israel, cumple con tu servidor David, mi padre, lo que le prometiste: “Nunca te faltará delante de mí un hombre que se siente en el trono de Israel, con tal que tus hijos cuiden su conducta y anden delante de mí como tú has andado delante de mí”.
Maintenant, Eternel, Dieu d'Israël, observe la promesse que tu as faite à David, mon père, en disant: Tu ne manqueras jamais devant moi d'un successeur assis sur le trône d'Israël, pourvu que tes fils prennent garde à leur voie et qu'ils marchent en ma présence comme tu as marché en ma présence.
Ora dunque, Signore Iddio di Israele, osserva al tuo servitore Davide, mio padre, ciò che tu gli hai detto; cioè: Ei non ti verrà giammai meno, dal mio cospetto, uomo che segga in sul trono d’Israele; purchè i tuoi figliuoli prendano guardia alla via loro, per camminare davanti a me, come tu sei camminato.
Agora, pois, ó SENHOR Deus de Israel, guarda a teu servo Davi, meu pai, o que lhe falaste, dizendo: Não te faltará sucessor diante de mim, que se assente no trono de Israel; somente que teus filhos guardem o seu caminho, para andarem diante de mim como tu andaste diante de mim.
耶和華- 以色列 的上帝啊,你向你僕人我父 大衛 應許說:『你的子孫若謹慎自己的行為,在我面前行事像你所行的一樣,就不斷有人在我面前坐 以色列 的王位。』現在求你信守這話。
