2 Samuel 7:25-29

25“Now, Lord God, keep the promise you made to me and my house forever. Do as you promised.

26Your name will be respected forever when ⌞people⌟ say, ‘The Lord of Armies is God over Israel.’ And the house of your servant David will be established in your presence.

27You, Lord of Armies, God of Israel, have revealed it especially to me, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.’ That is why I have found the courage to offer this prayer to you.

28“Almighty Lord, you are God, and your words are trustworthy. You promised me this good thing.

29Now, please bless my house so that it may continue in your presence forever. Indeed, you, Almighty Lord, have promised it. With your blessing my house will be blessed forever.”
