18I am your servant and you know me completely. You have given great honour to me. There is nothing more that I can say. 19Lord, you have chosen to do all these great things for me, your servant. You are telling me what you have promised to do. There is nobody like you, Lord. You alone are God. What we have heard about you is true! 21There is no other nation on earth like your people, Israel. We are the nation that you rescued so that we would belong to you. You did that to show that your name is great. You did great miracles as you rescued your people from Egypt. You chased out the nations who wanted to stop them. 22You chose Israel to be your own people for all time. You, Lord became our God.
