Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Samuel 7:23-25

"And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem unto himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for thy land, before thy people, whom thou redeemest to thee out of Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods? And thou didst establish to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, becamest their God. And now, O Jehovah God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou it for ever, and do as thou hast spoken." — 2 Samuel 7:23-25 (ASV)

And what one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for your land, before your people, whom you redeem to yourself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods? For you have confirmed to yourself your people Israel to be a people to you for ever: and you, LORD, have become their God. And now, O LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as you have said.

What a blessed prayer this is, Do as you have said! Get hold of a promise of the Lord, take it to the throne of grace, and then urge this plea, Do as you have said. It is a good argument to use with every upright man when we remind him of his promise, and ask him to keep his pledged word; and certainly we may use this plea with the thrice holy God: Do as you have said.
