2 Samuel 7:18-29

18And kingH4428 DavidH1732 wentH935 in and satH3427 before Jehovah, and saidH559, Who am I, Lord Jehovah, and what is my houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me hitherto? 19And yetH5750 this hath been a smallH6994 thing in thy sight, LordH136 Jehovah; but thou hast spokenH1696 alsoH1571 of thy servant's houseH1004 for a great while to come. And is this the manner of manH120, LordH136 Jehovah? 20And what can DavidH1732 sayH1696 more to thee? for thou, LordH136 Jehovah, knowest thy servantH5650. 21For thy word's sakeH5668, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou done all this greatnessH1420, to makeH6213 thy servantH5650 knowH3045 [it]. 22Wherefore thou art greatH1431, Jehovah Elohim; for there is none like thee, neither is there any 1GodH430 beside thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241. 23And who is like thy peopleH5971, like IsraelH3478, the oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 that 2GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 to be a peopleH5971 to himself, and to makeH7760 himself a nameH8034, and to do for them great things and terrible, for thy landH776, before thy peopleH5971, which thou redeemedst to thyself from EgyptH4714, from the nationsH1471 and their 3godsH430? 24And thou hast establishedH3559 to thyself thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to beH1961 a peopleH5971 unto thee for everH5769; and thou, Jehovah, art becomeH1961 their 4GodH430. 25And nowH6258, Jehovah Elohim, the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650 and concerning his houseH1004, fulfil it for everH5769, and do as thou hast saidH1696. 26And let thy nameH8034 beH1961 magnifiedH1431 for everH5769, sayingH559, Jehovah of hostsH6635 is 5GodH430 over IsraelH3478; and let the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 beH1961 establishedH3559 before thee. 27For thou, Jehovah of hostsH6635, the 6GodH430 of IsraelH3478, hast revealedH1540 to thy servantH5650, sayingH559, I will buildH1129 thee a houseH1004; thereforeH3651 hath thy servantH5650 foundH4672 in his heartH3820 to prayH6419 this prayerH8605 unto thee. 28And nowH6258, LordH136 Jehovah, thou art that 7GodH430, and thy wordsH1697 are true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servantH5650; 29and nowH6258 let it please thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may beH1961 before thee for everH5769; for thou, LordH136 Jehovah, hast spokenH1696 it; and with thy blessingH1293 shall the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650 beH1961 blessedH1288 for everH5769.
