1 Chronicles 17:16-27

¹⁶Then King David came in and sat before the Lord, and said, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far? ¹⁷This was a small thing in Your eyes, God; but You have spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have viewed me according to the standard of a person of high degree, Lord God. ¹⁸What more can David still say to You concerning the honor bestowed on Your servant? For You know Your servant. ¹⁹Lord, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished all this greatness, to make known all these great things. ²⁰Lord, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to everything that we have heard with our ears. ²¹And what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for You a name by great and awesome things, by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt? ²²For You have made Your people Israel Your own people forever, and You, Lord, became their God.

²³“Now, Lord, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house be established forever, and do just as You have spoken. ²⁴Let Your name be established and be great forever, saying, ‘The Lord of armies is the God of Israel, a God to Israel; and the house of Your servant David is established before You.’ ²⁵For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house; therefore Your servant has found courage to pray before You. ²⁶Now, Lord, You are God, and have promised this good thing to Your servant. ²⁷And now You have decided to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You; for You, Lord, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”
