David, king of Israel, likewise, did not open with the needs of Israel, until he had opened with the praise of the L-rd, viz. (Psalms 149:1) "Hallelukah! Sing to the L-rd a new song," after which he opened with the needs of Israel, viz. (Ibid. 4) "For the L-rd desires His people," after which he concluded with praise of the L-rd, viz. (Ibid. 6) "The exaltations of the Almighty are in their throats."
And Solomon, likewise, did not open with the needs of Israel, until he had opened with the praise of the L-rd, viz. (II Chronicles 6:14) "There is none like You, O G-d, in the heavens or in the earth, preserving the covenant and the lovingkindness for Your servants, who walk before You with all their heart," after which he opened with the needs of Israel, viz. (Ibid. 28) "A famine if there be in the land…", after which he concluded with the praise of the L-rd, viz. (Ibid. 41) "Rise, O L-rd, to Your resting place."
