20What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD.
21For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed it to Your servant.
22How great You are, O Lord GOD! For there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.
23And who is like Your people Israel — the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself and to make a name for Himself? You performed great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before Your people, whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt.
24For You have established Your people Israel as Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.
25And now, O LORD God, confirm forever the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house. Do as You have promised,
26so that Your name will be magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts is God over Israel.’ And the house of Your servant David will be established before You.
27For You, O LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant when You said, ‘I will build a house for you.’ Therefore Your servant has found the courage to offer this prayer to You.
28And now, O Lord GOD, You are God! Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.
29Now therefore, may it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O Lord GOD, have spoken, and with Your blessing the house of Your servant will be blessed forever.”
— 2 Samuel 7:20-29
