2 Samuel 7:18-21

18Then King David went into the Lord's tent. He sat down and he prayed to the Lord. He said, ‘Almighty Lord, I am not a special person and my family is not special. You have helped me very much and I do not deserve it.

19You have also made a promise about the descendants in my family, Almighty Lord. You have promised to help them in the future, as well as me. I am only a man but you have shown this to me, Almighty Lord.

20I am your servant, Almighty Lord, and you know me completely. There is nothing more that I can say.

21Because of your covenant you have chosen to do all these great things. You have told me, your servant, what you promise to do.
