* Then King David went in and sat before the LORD ; and he said : "Who am I , O Lord GOD ? And what is my house , that You have brought me this far ? * And yet this was a small thing in Your sight , O Lord GOD ; and You have also spoken of Your servant 's house for a great while to come . Is this the manner of man , O Lord GOD ? * Now what more can David say to You ? For You , Lord GOD , know Your servant . * For Your word 's sake , and according to Your own heart , You have done all these great things , to make Your servant know them . * Therefore You are great , O Lord GOD . For there is none like You , nor is there any God besides You , according to all that we have heard with our ears . * And who is like Your people , like Israel , the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people , to make for Himself a name--and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land--before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt , the nations , and their gods ? * For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever ; and You , LORD , have become their God . * "Now , O LORD God , the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house , establish it forever and do as You have said . * So let Your name be magnified forever , saying , "The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel .' And let the house of Your servant David be established before You . * For You , O LORD of hosts , God of Israel , have revealed this to Your servant , saying , "I will build you a house .' Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You . * "And now , O Lord GOD , You are God , and Your words are true , and You have promised this goodness to Your servant . * Now therefore , let it please You to bless the house of Your servant , that it may continue before You forever ; for You , O Lord GOD , have spoken it , and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever ."
