2 Samuel 7:18-24

18Then King David went in and sat [in prayer] before the Lord, and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house (family), that You have brought me this far?

19Yet this was very insignificant in Your eyes, O Lord God, for You have spoken also of Your servant’s house (royal dynasty) in the distant future. And this is the law and custom of man, O Lord God.

20What more can David say to You? For You know (acknowledge, choose) Your servant, O Lord God.

21Because of Your word (promise), and in accordance with Your own heart, You have done all these great and astounding things to let Your servant know (understand).

22Therefore You are great, O Lord God; for there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23What one nation on earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people and to make a name for Himself, and to do great and awesome things for Yourself and for Your land, before Your people whom You have redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, from nations and their gods?

24You established for Yourself Your people Israel as Your people forever, and You, O Lord, have become their God.
