1 Chronicles 17:16-27

16Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 wentH935 in, and satH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; and he saidH559, Who am I, O LORDH3068 GodH430, and whatH4310 is my houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 meH6440 thus farH5704? 17And this was a smallH6994 thingH2063 in thine eyesH5869, O GodH430; but thou hast spokenH1696 of thy servant’sH5650 houseH1004 for a greatH430 whileH5921 to comeH7350, and hast regardedH7200 meH5921 accordingH5921 to the estateH1004 of a manH120 of high degree, O LORDH3068 GodH430. 18WhatH4100 canH4100 DavidH1732 sayH3254 yet moreH5750 unto thee concerning the honour whichH4100 is doneH3254 to thy servantH5650? for thou knowest thy servantH5650. 19O LORDH3068, for thy servant’sH5650 sakeH5668, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou wrought allH3605 this greatnessH1420, to makeH6213 knownH3045 allH3605 theseH2063 greatH1420 things. 20O LORDH3068, there is noneH369 like thee, neitherH369 is there anyH3605 GodH430 beside thee, according to allH3605 that weH834 have heardH8085 with our earsH241. 21And whatH834 one nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whomH834 GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 unto himselfH6440 for a peopleH5971, to makeH7760 thee a nameH8034 by greatH1420 and terrible things, in drivingH1644 outH1644 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, whichH834 thou redeemedst outH1644 of EgyptH4714? 22For thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 didst thou makeH5414 thine ownH1961 peopleH5971 for everH5769; and thou, LORDH3068, becamest their GodH430. 23And nowH6258, O LORDH3068, letH6258 the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650, and concerning his houseH1004, be establishedH539 for everH5769, and doH6213 as thou hast spokenH1696. 24And let thy nameH8034 be establishedH3559 and magnifiedH1431 for everH5769, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, evenH5704 a GodH430 to IsraelH3478: and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650 is establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee. 25For thou, O my GodH430, hast revealedH1540 to thy servantH5650 that thou wilt buildH1129 him an houseH1004: therefore hath thy servantH5650 foundH4672 in his heart to prayH6419 beforeH6440 thee. 26And nowH6258, O LORDH3068, thou art GodH430, and hast promisedH1696 this goodH2896 thingH2063 unto thy servantH5650: 27and nowH6258 it hath pleasedH2974 thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may continueH1961 for everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: for thou, O LORDH3068, hast blessedH1288, and it is blessedH1288 for everH5769.
