Context of 1 Chronicles 17:26

24Your name will endure and be respected forever when ⌞people⌟ say, ‘The Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God.’ And the house of David, your servant, will be established in your presence. 25You, my God, have revealed especially to me that you will build me a house. That is why I have found ⌞the courage⌟ to pray to you. “Almighty Lord, you are God. You promised me this good thing. 27Now, you were pleased to bless my house so that it may continue in your presence forever. Indeed, you, Lord, have blessed it. It will be blessed forever.”
