1 Chronicles 17:16-27
16And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Jehovah Elohim, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 17And this hath been a small thing in thy sight, O 1God; and thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, Jehovah Elohim. 18What can David [say] more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant. 19Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make known all these great things. 20Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any 2God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 21And who is like thy people Israel, the one nation in the earth that 3God went to redeem to be a people to himself, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? 22And thy people Israel hast thou made thine own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their 4God. 23And now, Jehovah, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. 24Let it even be established, and let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts, the 5God of Israel, is 6God to Israel; and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee. 25For thou, my 7God, hast revealed to thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore hath thy servant found [in his heart] to pray before thee. 26And now, Jehovah, thou art that 8God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant; 27and now, let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Jehovah, hast blessed [it], and it shall be blessed for ever.
