1 Chronicles 17:16-27
16Then KingH4428 DavidH1732 went inH935, satH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, “WhoH4310 am IH589, O LORDH3068 GodH430, and whatH4310 is my houseH1004, thatH3588 You have brought meH935 thisH5704 farH1988? 17And as if thisH2063 was a small thingH6994 in Your eyesH5869, O GodH430, You have spokenH1696 aboutH5921 the futureH7350 of the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650 and have regarded meH7200 as a manH120H8448 of great distinctionH4609,1 O LORDH3068 GodH430. 18WhatH4100 moreH3254H5750 can DavidH1732 say to YouH413 for honoringH3519 Your servantH5650? For YouH859 knowH3045 Your servantH5650, 19O LORDH3068.2 For the sakeH5668 of Your servantH5650 and according to Your own heartH3820, You have accomplishedH6213 thisH3605H2063 great thingH1420 and made knownH3045 allH3605 these great promisesH1420.
20O LORDH3068, there is noneH369 like YouH3644, and there is noH369 GodH430 but YouH2108, according to everythingH3605 we have heardH8085 with our own earsH241. 21And whoH4310 is like Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478—the oneH259 nationH1471 on earthH776 whomH834 GodH430 went outH1980 to redeemH6299 as a peopleH5971 for Himself? You madeH7760 a nameH8034 for Yourself through greatH1420 and awesome wondersH3372 by driving outH1644 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 Your peopleH5971, whomH834 You redeemedH6299 from EgyptH4714. 22For You have madeH5414 Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 Your very ownH5971 foreverH5704H5769, and YouH859, O LORDH3068, have becomeH1961 their GodH430.
23And nowH6258, O LORDH3068, let the wordH1697 You have spokenH1696 concerningH5921 Your servantH5650H5921 and his houseH1004 be establishedH539 foreverH5704H5769. DoH6213 asH834 You have promisedH1696, 24so that Your nameH8034 will be establishedH539 and magnifiedH1431 foreverH5704H5769 when it is saidH559, ‘The LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, is GodH430 over IsraelH3478.’ And may the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 be establishedH3559 before YouH6440. 25ForH3588 YouH859, my GodH430, have revealedH1540 to Your servantH5650 that You will buildH1129 a houseH1004 for himH5921. ThereforeH3651 Your servantH5650 has found the courageH4672 to prayH6419 before YouH6440.
26And nowH6258, O LORDH3068, YouH859 areH1931 GodH430! And You have promisedH1696 thisH2063 goodnessH2896 toH5921 Your servantH5650. 27So nowH6258 You have been pleasedH2974 to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650, that it may continueH1961 foreverH5769 before YouH6440. ForH3588 YouH859, O LORDH3068, have blessed itH1288, and it will be blessedH1288 foreverH5769.”
