2 Samuel 7:18-24

18Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

19And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. Is this the manner of man, O Lord God?

20Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord God, know Your servant.

21For Your word’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them.

22Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods?

24For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, Lord, have become their God.
