2Samuel:7:11-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel Yisra #
el #,
and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies .
Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house .
*
And when thy days be fulfilled ,
and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers ,
I will set up thy seed after thee ,
which shall proceed out of thy bowels me #
ah #,
and I will establish his kingdom .
*
He shall build an house for my name ,
and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever .
*
I will be his father ,
and he shall be my son .
If he commit iniquity ,
I will chasten him with the rod of men ,
and with the stripes of the children of men :
*
But my mercy shall not depart away from him ,
as I took it from Saul Sha #
uwl #,
whom I put away before thee .
*
And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee :
thy throne shall be established for ever .
*
According to all these words ,
and according to all this vision ,
so did Nathan speak unto David .
*
Then went king David in ,
and sat before the LORD ,
and he said ,
Who am I ,
O Lord GOD ?
and what is my house ,
that thou hast brought me hitherto ?
*
And this was yet a small thing in thy sight ,
O Lord GOD ;
but thou hast spoken also of thy servants house for a great while to come .
And is this the manner of man ,
O Lord GOD ?
*
And what can #
David say more unto thee ?
for thou ,
Lord GOD ,
knowest thy servant .
*
For thy words sake ,
and according to thine own heart ,
hast thou done all these great things ,
to make thy servant know them .
*
Wherefore thou art great ,
O LORD God :
for there is none like thee ,
neither is there any God beside thee ,
according to all that we have heard with our ears .
*
And what one nation in the earth is like thy people ,
even like Israel Yisra #
el #,
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 thy land ,
before thy people ,
which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt ,
from the nations and their gods ?
*
For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever :
and thou ,
LORD ,
art become their God .
*
And now ,
O LORD God ,
the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant ,
and concerning his house ,
establish it for ever ,
and do as thou hast said .
*
And let thy name be magnified for ever ,
saying ,
The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel Yisra #
el #:
and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee .
*
For thou ,
O LORD of hosts ,
God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
hast revealed to thy servant ,
saying ,
I will build thee an house :
therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee .
