1 Chronicles 17:16-27

16Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 wentH935 in, and satH3427 before Jehovah; and he saidH559, Who am I, O Jehovah GodH430, and what is my houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me thus far? 17And this was a smallH6994 thing in thine eyesH5869, O GodH430; but thou hast spokenH1696 of thy servant’sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a manH120 of high degree, O Jehovah GodH430. 18What can DavidH1732 say yetH5750 more unto thee concerningH413 the honorH3519 which is done to thy servantH5650? for thou knowest thy servantH5650. 19O Jehovah, for thy servant’sH5650 sakeH5668, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou wrought all this greatnessH1420, to makeH6213 knownH3045 all these great things. 20O Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besides thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241. 21And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 unto himself for a peopleH5971, to makeH7760 thee a nameH8034 by great and terrible things, in drivingH1644 out nationsH1471 from before thy peopleH5971, whom thou redeemedst out of EgyptH4714? 22For thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 didst thou makeH5414 thine own peopleH5971 for everH5769; and thou, Jehovah, becamest their GodH430. 23And nowH6258, O Jehovah, let the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650, and concerning his houseH1004, be establishedH539 for everH5769, and do as thou hast spokenH1696. 24And let thy nameH8034 be establishedH3559 and magnifiedH1431 for everH5769, sayingH559, Jehovah of hostsH6635 is the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, even a GodH430 to IsraelH3478: and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650 is establishedH3559 before thee. 25For thou, O my GodH430, hast revealedH1540 to thy servantH5650 that thou wilt buildH1129 him a houseH1004: thereforeH3651 hath thy servantH5650 foundH4672 in his heart to prayH6419 before thee. 26And nowH6258, O Jehovah, thou art GodH430, and hast promised this goodH2896 thing unto thy servantH5650: 27and nowH6258 it hath pleased thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may continue for everH5769 before thee: for thou, O Jehovah, hast blessedH1288, and it is blessedH1288 for everH5769.
