drb@1Chronicles:17:16 @And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou shouldst give such things to me?

drb@1Chronicles:17:17 @But even this hath seemed little in thy sight, and therefore thou hast also spoken concerning the house of thy servant for the time to come: and best made me remarkable above all men, O Lord God.

drb@1Chronicles:17:18 @What can David add more, seeing thou hast thus glorified thy servant, and known him?

drb@1Chronicles:17:19 @O Lord, for thy servant's sake, according to thy own heart, thou hast shewn all this magnificence, and wouldst have all the great things to be known.

drb@1Chronicles:17:20 @O Lord there is none like thee: and there is no other God beside thee, of all whom we have heard of with our ears.

drb@1Chronicles:17:21 @For what other nation is there upon earth like thy people Israel, whom God went to deliver, and make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terrors cast out nations before their face whom he had delivered out of Egypt?

drb@1Chronicles:17:22 @And thou hast made thy people Israel to be thy own people for ever, and thou, O Lord, art become their God.

drb@1Chronicles:17:23 @Now therefore, O Lord, let the word which thou hast spoken to thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as thou hast said

drb@1Chronicles:17:24 @And let thy name remain and be magnified for ever: and let it be said: The Lord of hosts is God of Israel, and the house of David his servant remaineth before him.

drb@1Chronicles:17:25 @For thou, O Lord my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build him a house: and therefore thy servant hath found confidence to pray before thee.

drb@1Chronicles:17:26 @And now O Lord, thou art God: and thou hast promised to thy servant such great benefits.

drb@1Chronicles:17:27 @And thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be always before thee: for seeing thou blessest it, O Lord, it shall be blessed for ever.
