2 Samuel 7:18-24

18Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 cameH935 inH935 and satH3427 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and he saidH559, “1WhoH4310 am I, LordH136 2GodH3068, and whoH4310 are the members of my householdH1004, that You have broughtH935 me thisH1988 farH1988?

19And yetH5750 thisH2088 wasH6994 insignificantH6994 in Your eyesH5869, LordH136 GodH3068, 3for You have spokenH1696 alsoH1571 of the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650 regarding the distantH7350 futureH7350. And 4thisH2088 is the 5customH8451 of mankindH120, LordH136 GodH3068.

20AgainH3254 whatH4100 moreH5750 can DavidH1732 sayH1696 to You? For 6You knowH3045 Your servantH5650, LordH136 GodH3068!

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

22ForH5921 thisH5921H3651 reasonH5921H3651 8You areH1431 greatH1431, LordH136 GodH3068; for 9thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 likeH3644 You, and thereH369 isH369 noH369 GodH430 exceptH2108 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, 13becauseH4480H6440 of 14Your peopleH5971 whomH834 15You have redeemedH6299 for Yourself from EgyptH4714, from other nationsH1471 and their godsH430?

24For 16You have establishedH3559 for Yourself Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 as Your own peopleH5971 foreverH5704H5769, and 17You, LordH3068, have becomeH1961 their GodH430.
