2 Samuel 7:18-29

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. 25And now, Jehovah Elohim, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house, fulfil it for ever, and do as thou hast said. 26And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is 5God over Israel; and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee. 27For thou, Jehovah of hosts, the 6God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house; therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. 28And now, Lord Jehovah, thou art that 7God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant; 29and now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it; and with thy blessing shall the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
