2 Samuel 7:18-29
18Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 wentH935 in, and satH3427 before Jehovah; and he saidH559, Who am I, O Lord Jehovah, and what is my houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me thus far? 19And this was yetH5750 a smallH6994 thing in thine eyesH5869, O LordH136 Jehovah; but thou hast spokenH1696 alsoH1571 of thy servant’sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of menH120, O LordH136 Jehovah! 20And what can DavidH1732 sayH1696 more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servantH5650, O LordH136 Jehovah. 21For thy word’s sakeH5668, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou wrought all this greatnessH1420, to makeH6213 thy servantH5650 knowH3045 it. 22Wherefore thou art greatH1431, O Jehovah GodH430: for there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besides thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241. 23And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971, even like IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 unto himself for a peopleH5971, and to makeH7760 him a nameH8034, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for thy landH776, before thy peopleH5971, whom thou redeemedst to thee out of EgyptH4714, from the nationsH1471 and their godsH430? 24And thou didst establishH3559 to thyself thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to beH1961 a peopleH5971 unto thee for everH5769; and thou, Jehovah, becamest their GodH430. 25And nowH6258, O Jehovah GodH430, the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650, and concerning his houseH1004, confirm thou it for everH5769, and do as thou hast spokenH1696. 26And let thy nameH8034 beH1961 magnifiedH1431 for everH5769, sayingH559, Jehovah of hostsH6635 is GodH430 over IsraelH3478; and the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 shall beH1961 establishedH3559 before thee. 27For thou, O Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, hast revealedH1540 to thy servantH5650, sayingH559, I will buildH1129 thee a houseH1004: thereforeH3651 hath thy servantH5650 foundH4672 in his heartH3820 to prayH6419 this prayerH8605 unto thee. 28And nowH6258, O LordH136 Jehovah, thou art GodH430, and thy wordsH1697 are truthH571, and thou hast promised this goodH2896 thingH1697 unto thy servantH5650: 29nowH6258 thereforeH6258 let it please thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may continue for everH5769 before thee; for thou, O LordH136 Jehovah, hast spokenH1696 it: and with thy blessingH1293 let the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650 beH1961 blessedH1288 for everH5769.
