Do as You have spoken so that it might be established and Your Name might be magnified forever, saying, ‘Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God.’ Then the house of David Your servant will be established before You. 25“You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for him. So Your servant has found courage to pray before You. 26Now, Adonai, You are God! You have promised this good thing to Your servant.
