It was part of the 1537 Matthew Bible, and the 1599 Geneva Bible. It also appears in the Apocrypha of the 1611 King James Bible and of the original 1609/1610 Douai-Rheims Bible. Pope Clement VIII included the prayer in an appendix to the Vulgate. The prayer is included in some editions of the Greek Septuagint.
Like the text of Jacob's blessing, the text of these verses is not intact: the beginning (verses 2 and 3) has suffered "much mutilation"; and even with the help of the versions it is impossible to fill the gap. [1] Perhaps the introduction and the conclusion were not written by the author of the blessing itself.
The Prayer of Solomon is a prayer by King Solomon described in 1 Kings 8:22-53 and 2 Chronicles 6:12-42. This prayer is said to have occurred at the dedication of the temple of Solomon, which also became known as the First Temple.

The Psalms (Tehilim, תהילים, or "praises"), considered part of both Hebrew and Christian Scripture, served as ancient Israel's "psalter" or "hymnbook", which was used during temple and private worship. The New Testament contains passages that quote verses from these Psalms which are not imprecatory in nature.
The Lord's Prayer is appended by two verses on forgiveness. [1] Allison notes a similar sequence in Mark 11:23–25 and Luke 17:3–6 and proposes a traditional connection between prayer and forgiveness, where prayer is efficacious when members of the community are reconciled to each other.
The verses have common themes especially universalism and redemption. [12]: 313 [6]: cxiii Eitz Yosef notes that each of the first 4 verses begin with the word "Baruch" (בָּרוּךְ ), Hebrew for "blessed". This is not intended to be understood as the reader blessing HaShem, but rather referring to HaShem as the source of all blessing.
The Bible describes how the ancient Israelites, despite being strictly warned not to do so, repeatedly engaged in idolatry and were therefore punished severely by the Lord. [5] Many of the stories in the Bible from the time of Moses to the Babylonian captivity are predicated on the choice between exclusive worship of the Lord and false gods. [6]
