2 Samuel 7:18-29

18Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 wentH935 in and satH3427 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and he saidH559, “1WhoH4310 am I, O LordH136 2GodH3068, and whatH4310 is my houseH1004, that You have broughtH935 me thisH1988 farH1988?

19And yetH5750 thisH2088 was insignificantH6994 in Your eyesH5869, O LordH136 GodH3068, 3for You have spokenH1696 alsoH1571 of the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650 concerning the distantH7350 futureH7350. And 4thisH2088 is the 5customH8451 of manH120, O LordH136 GodH3068.

20AgainH5750 whatH4100 moreH5750 can DavidH1732 sayH1696 to You? For 6You knowH3045 Your servantH5650, O LordH136 GodH3068!

217For the sakeH5668 of Your wordH1697, and according to Your own heartH3820, You have doneH6213 allH3605 thisH2088 greatnessH1420 to let Your servantH5650 knowH3045.

22For thisH3651 reasonH5921H3651 8You are greatH1431, O LordH136 GodH3068; for 9thereH369 is noneH369 likeH3644 You, and thereH369 is noH369 GodH430 besidesH2108 You, 10according to allH3605 that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241.

23And 11whatH4310 oneH259 nationH1471 on the earthH776 is like Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whomH834 GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 for Himself as a peopleH5971 and to makeH7760 a nameH8034 for Himself, and 12to doH6213 a greatH1420 thingH1420 for You and awesomeH3372 thingsH3372 for Your landH776, beforeH4480H6440 13Your peopleH5971 whomH834 14You have redeemedH6299 for Yourself from EgyptH4714, from nationsH1471 and their godsH430?

24For 15You have establishedH3559 for Yourself Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 as Your own peopleH5971 foreverH5704H5769, and 16You, O LordH3068, have becomeH1961 their GodH430.

25NowH6258 therefore, O LordH3068 GodH430, the wordH1697 that You have spokenH1696 concerningH5921 Your servantH5650 and his houseH1004, confirmH6965 it foreverH5704H5769, and doH6213 as You have spokenH1696,

2617that Your nameH8034 may be magnifiedH1431 foreverH5704H5769, by sayingH559, ‘The LordH3068 of hostsH6635 is GodH430 overH5921 IsraelH3478’; and may the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 You.

27For You, O LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, have 18madeH1540 a revelationH1540H241 to Your servantH5650, sayingH559, ‘19I will buildH1129 you a houseH1004’; thereforeH5921H3651 Your servantH5650 has foundH4672 20courageH3820 to prayH6419 thisH2088 prayerH8605 to You.

28NowH6258, O LordH136 GodH3068, You are GodH430, and 21Your wordsH1697 are truthH571, and You have 22promisedH1696 thisH2088 goodH2899 thingH2899 to Your servantH5650.

29NowH6258 therefore, may it pleaseH2974 You to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650, that it may continueH1961 foreverH5769 beforeH6440 You. For You, O LordH136 GodH3068, have spokenH1696; and 23with Your blessingH1293 may the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650 be blessedH1288 foreverH5769.”
