*
And David the king came and sat before the LORD ,
and said ,
Who am I ,
O LORD God ,
and what is mine house ,
that thou hast brought me hitherto ?
*
And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes ,
O God ;
for thou hast also spoken of thy servant '
s house for a great while to come ,
and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree ,
O LORD God .
*
What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant ?
for thou knowest thy servant .
*
O LORD ,
for thy servant '
s sake ,
and according to thine own heart ,
hast thou done all this greatness ,
in making known all these great things .
*
O LORD ,
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 Israel ,
whom God went to redeem to be his own people ,
to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness ,
by driving out nations from before thy people ,
whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt ?
*
For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever ;
and thou ,
LORD ,
becamest their God .
*
Therefore now ,
LORD ,
let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever ,
and do as thou hast said .
*
Let it even be established ,
that thy name may be magnified for ever ,
saying ,
The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel ,
even a God to Israel :
and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee .
*
For thou ,
O my God ,
hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house :
therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee .
*
And now ,
LORD ,
thou art God ,
and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant :
*
Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant ,
that it may be before thee for ever :
for thou blessest ,
O LORD ,
and it shall be blessed for ever .
