2 Samuel 7:18-24

18And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

19And yet this hath been a small thing in thy sight, Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, Lord Jehovah?

20And what can David say more to thee? for thou, Lord Jehovah, knowest thy servant.

21For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make thy servant know [it].

22Wherefore thou art great, Jehovah Elohim; for there is none like thee, neither is there any 1God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23And who is like thy people, like Israel, the one nation in the earth that 2God went to redeem to be a people to himself, and to make himself a name, and to do for them great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thyself from Egypt, from the nations and their 3gods?

24And thou hast established to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their 4God.
