* And king David went in and sat before Jehovah , and said , Who am I , Lord Jehovah , and what is my house , that thou hast brought me hitherto ? * And yet this hath been a small thing in thy sight , Lord Jehovah ; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant 's house for a great while to come . And is this the manner of man , Lord Jehovah ? * And what can David say more to thee ? for thou , Lord Jehovah , knowest thy servant . * For thy word 's sake , and according to thine own heart , hast thou done all this greatness , to make thy servant know [it ]. * Wherefore thou art great , Jehovah Elohim ; for there is none like thee , neither is there any God beside thee , according to all that we have heard with our ears . * And who is like thy people , like Israel , the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself , and to make himself a name , and to do for them great things and terrible , for thy land , before thy people , which thou redeemedst to thyself from Egypt , from the nations and their gods ? * And thou hast established to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever ; and thou , Jehovah , art become their God . * And now , Jehovah Elohim , the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house , fulfil it for ever , and do as thou hast said . * And let thy name be magnified for ever , saying , Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel ; and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee . * For thou , Jehovah of hosts , the God of Israel , hast revealed to thy servant , saying , I will build thee a house ; therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee . * And now , Lord Jehovah , thou art that God , and thy words are true , and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant ; * and now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant , that it may be before thee for ever ; for thou , Lord Jehovah , hast spoken it ; and with thy blessing shall the house of thy servant be blessed for ever .
