2 Samuel 7:8-29

8NowH6258 then, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall sayH559 to My servantH5650 DavidH1732: ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “1I MyselfH589 tookH3947 you from the pastureH5116, from followingH310 the sheepH6629, 2to be leaderH5057 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 9And 3I have beenH1961 with you whereverH3605H834 you have goneH1980, and 4have eliminatedH3772 allH3605 your enemiesH340 from you; I will also makeH6213 a greatH1419 nameH8034 for you, like the namesH8034 of the greatH1419 menH1419 whoH834 5are on the earthH776. 10And I will establishH7760 a placeH4725 for My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and 6will plantH5193 them, so that they may liveH7931 inH7931 their own placeH8478 and not be disturbedH7264 againH5750, 7norH3808 will 8maliciousH5767 peopleH1121 oppressH6031 them anymoreH3254 as previouslyH7223, 11even 9from the dayH3117 that I appointedH6680 judgesH8199 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and 10I will giveH5117 you restH5117 from allH3605 your enemiesH340. The LordH3068 also declaresH5046 to you that 11the LordH3068 will makeH6213 a houseH1004 for you. 1212WhenH3588 your daysH3117 are finishedH4390 and you 1314lieH7901 downH7901 with your fathersH1, 15I will raiseH6965 upH6965 your 16descendantH2233 afterH310 you, whoH834 will comeH3318 from 17you, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4467. 1318He shall buildH1129 a houseH1004 for My nameH8034, and 19I will establishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467 foreverH5704H5769. 1420I will be a fatherH1 to him and he will be a sonH1121 to Me; 21whenH834 he doesH5753 wrongH5753, I will disciplineH3198 him with a rodH7626 of menH376 and with strokesH5061 of sonsH1121 of mankindH120, 15but My favorH2617 shall not departH5493 from him, 22as I tookH5493 it awayH5493 from SaulH7586, whomH834 I removedH5493 from you. 1623Your houseH1004 and your kingdomH4467 shall endureH539 beforeH6440 24Me foreverH5704H5769; your throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 foreverH5704H5769.”’” 17In accordance with allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 and allH3605 of thisH2088 visionH2384, soH3651 NathanH5416 spokeH1696 to DavidH1732.

18Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 cameH935 inH935 and satH3427 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and he saidH559, “25WhoH4310 am I, LordH136 26GodH3068, 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, 27for You have spokenH1696 alsoH1571 of the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650 regarding the distantH7350 futureH7350. And 28thisH2088 is the 29customH8451 of mankindH120, LordH136 GodH3068. 20AgainH3254 whatH4100 moreH5750 can DavidH1732 sayH1696 to You? For 30You knowH3045 Your servantH5650, LordH136 GodH3068! 2131For the sakeH5668 of Your wordH1697, and according to Your heartH3820, You have doneH6213 allH3605 thisH2088 greatnessH1420, to let Your servantH5650 knowH3045. 22ForH5921 thisH5921H3651 reasonH5921H3651 32You areH1431 greatH1431, LordH136 GodH3068; for 33thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 likeH3644 You, and thereH369 isH369 noH369 GodH430 exceptH2108 You, 34according to allH3605 that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241. 23And 35whatH4310 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 36to doH6213 a greatH1420 thingH1420 for You and awesomeH3372 thingsH3372 for Your landH776, 37becauseH4480H6440 of 38Your peopleH5971 whomH834 39You have redeemedH6299 for Yourself from EgyptH4714, from other nationsH1471 and their godsH430? 24For 40You have establishedH3559 for Yourself Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 as Your own peopleH5971 foreverH5704H5769, and 41You, LordH3068, have becomeH1961 their GodH430. 25NowH6258 then, LordH3068 GodH430, the wordH1697 that You have spokenH1696 aboutH5921 Your servantH5650 and his houseH1004, confirmH6965 it foreverH5704H5769, and doH6213 justH3512 asH3512 You have spokenH1696, 2642so that Your nameH8034 may beH1431 greatH1431 foreverH5704H5769, by sayingH559, ‘The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 is GodH430 overH5921 IsraelH3478’; and may the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 You. 27For You, LordH3068 of armiesH6635, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, have 43givenH1540 a revelationH1540H241 to Your servantH5650, sayingH559, ‘44I will buildH1129 you a houseH1004’; thereforeH5921H3651 Your servantH5650 has foundH4672 45courageH3820 to prayH6419 thisH2088 prayerH8605 to You. 28NowH6258 then, LordH136 GodH3068, You are GodH430, and 46Your wordsH1697 are truthH571; and You have 47promisedH1696 thisH2088 goodH2899 thingH2899 to Your servantH5650. 29And nowH6258, may 48it pleaseH2974 You to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of Your servantH5650, so that it may continueH1961 foreverH5769 beforeH6440 You.
