2 Samuel 7:18-24
18Then wentH935 kingH4428 DavidH1732 in, and satH3427 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, and he saidH559, Who am I, O LordH136 YhwhH3069? and what is my houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me hithertoH1988? 19And this was yet a small thingH6994 in thy sightH5869, O LordH136 YhwhH3069; but thou hast spokenH1696 also of thy servant’sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to comeH7350. And is this the mannerH8452 of manH120, O LordH136 YhwhH3069?1 20And what canH3254 DavidH1732 sayH1696 moreH3254 unto thee? for thou, LordH136 YhwhH3069, knowestH3045 thy servantH5650. 21For thy word’sH1697 sake, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou doneH6213 all these great thingsH1420, to make thy servantH5650 knowH3045 them. 22Wherefore thou art greatH1431, O YhwhH3068 GodH430: for there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besideH2108 thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241. 23And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971, even like IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 for a peopleH5971 to himself, and to makeH7760 him a nameH8034, and to doH6213 for you great thingsH1420 and terribleH3372, for thy landH776, beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, which thou redeemedstH6299 to thee from EgyptH4714, from the nationsH1471 and their godsH430? 24For thou hast confirmedH3559 to thyself thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to be a peopleH5971 unto thee forH5704 everH5769: and thou, YhwhH3068, art becomeH1961 their GodH430.
