26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. 28 And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

THE LORD BE WITH US
The Lord be with us as we bend
His blessing to receive;
His gift of peace upon us send,
Before His courts we leave.
The Lord be with us as we walk
Along our homeward road;
In silent thought or friendly talk
Our hearts be near to God.
The Lord be with us as each day
His blessings we receive;
His gift of peace on all we pray,
Before His courts we leave.
The Lord be with us till the night
Enfold our day of rest;
Be He of every heart the Light,
Of every home the Guest.
The Lord be with us through the hours
Of slumber calm and deep,
Protect our homes, renew our powers,
And guard us while we sleep.
