1 Chronicles 17:21-27

21And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 to be his own peopleH5971, to makeH7760 thee a nameH8034 of greatnessH1420 and terriblenessH3372, by driving outH1644 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, whom thou hast redeemedH6299 out of EgyptH4714?

22For thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 didst thou makeH5414 thine own peopleH5971 forH5704 everH5769; and thou, YhwhH3068, becamest their GodH430.

23Therefore now, YhwhH3068, let the thingH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650 and concerning his houseH1004 be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769, and doH6213 as thou hast saidH1696.

24Let it even be establishedH539, that thy nameH8034 may be magnifiedH1431 forH5704 everH5769, sayingH559, YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 is the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, even a GodH430 to IsraelH3478: and let the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650 be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee.

25For thou, O my GodH430, hast toldH241H1540 thy servantH5650 that thou wilt buildH1129 him an houseH1004: therefore thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672 in his heart to prayH6419 beforeH6440 thee.1

26And now, YhwhH3068, thou art GodH430, and hast promisedH1696 this goodnessH2896 unto thy servantH5650:

27Now therefore let it pleaseH2974 thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may be beforeH6440 thee for everH5769: for thou blessestH1288, O YhwhH3068, and it shall be blessedH1288 for everH5769.2
