1Chronicles:17:16-27
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:16 @ Then went king David in and sat down before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me as far as hitherward?
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And this was too small a thing in thy eyes, O God, and thou hast spoken concerning thy servants house for a distant time, and hast regarded me as though I belonged to the rank of a man of high degree, O Lord God.
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:18 @ What can David add yet more unto thee of the honor of thy servant? since thou knowest well thy servant.
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:19 @ O Lord, for the sake of thy servant, and in accordance with thy own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, to make known all these great things.
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:20 @ O Lord, there is none like thee, and there is no god beside thee, in accordance with all that we have heard with our ears.
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:21 @ And who is like thy people Israel, the only nation on the earth which God went to redeem for himself as a people, to acquire for thyself a name for great and terrible deeds, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hadst redeemed out of Egypt?
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:22 @ And thou hast instituted thy people Israel unto thyself as a people for ever; and thou, Lord, art indeed become their God.
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:23 @ And now, O Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be verified for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:24 @ Yea, let it be verified, and let thy name be magnified unto everlasting, that men may say, The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God for Israel; and may the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:25 @ For thou, O my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build for him a house; therefore hath thy servant found himself able to pray before thee.
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:26 @ And now, O Lord, thou art the God, and thou hast spoken concerning thy servant this goodness:
lesserot@1Chronicles:17:27 @ And now hast thou been pleased to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord, hast blessed, and blessed for ever.
