1 Chronicles 17:16-27
16And kingH4428 DavidH1732 wentH935 in and satH3427 before Jehovah, and saidH559, Who am I, Jehovah Elohim, and what is my houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me hitherto? 17And this hath been a smallH6994 thing in thy sight, O 1GodH430; and thou hast spokenH1696 of thy servant's houseH1004 for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a manH120 of high degree, Jehovah Elohim. 18What can DavidH1732 [say] more to thee for the gloryH3519 of thy servantH5650? thou indeed knowest thy servantH5650. 19Jehovah, for thy servant's sakeH5668, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou done all this greatnessH1420, to makeH6213 knownH3045 all these great things. 20Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any 2GodH430 beside thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241. 21And who is like thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, the oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 that 3GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 to be a peopleH5971 to himself, to makeH7760 thee a nameH8034 of greatnessH1420 and terribleness, by drivingH1644 out nationsH1471 from before thy peopleH5971, which thou hast redeemedH6299 out of EgyptH4714? 22And thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 hast thou madeH5414 thine own peopleH5971 for everH5769; and thou, Jehovah, art becomeH1961 their 4GodH430. 23And nowH6258, Jehovah, let the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650 and concerning his houseH1004 be establishedH539 for everH5769, and do as thou hast saidH1696. 24Let it even be establishedH3559, and let thy nameH8034 be magnifiedH1431 for everH5769, sayingH559, Jehovah of hostsH6635, the 5GodH430 of IsraelH3478, is 6GodH430 to IsraelH3478; and let the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650 be establishedH3559 before thee. 25For thou, my 7GodH430, hast revealedH1540 to thy servantH5650 that thou wilt buildH1129 him a houseH1004; thereforeH3651 hath thy servantH5650 foundH4672 [in his heart] to prayH6419 before thee. 26And nowH6258, Jehovah, thou art that 8GodH430, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servantH5650; 27and nowH6258, let it please thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may beH1961 before thee for everH5769; for thou, Jehovah, hast blessedH1288 [it], and it shall beH1961 blessedH1288 for everH5769.
