1 Chronicles 17:16-27 - David's Prayer

¹⁶ Then David the king went in, and sat before LORD. And he said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that thou have brought me thus far? ¹⁷ And this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God. But thou have spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God. ¹⁸ What can David [say] yet more to thee concerning the honor which is done to thy servant? For thou know thy servant. ¹⁹ O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, thou have wrought all this greatness, to make known all [these] great things. ²⁰ O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. ²¹ And what one nation on the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make thee a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before thy people whom thou redeemed out of E ²² For thy people Israel thou made thine own people forever. And thou, LORD, became their God. ²³ And now, O LORD, let the word that thou have spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as thou have spoken. ²⁴ And let thy name be established and magnified forever, saying, LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel, and the house of David thy servant is established before thee. ²⁵ For thou, O my God, have revealed to thy servant that thou will build him a house. Therefore thy servant has found [in his heart] to pray before thee. ²⁶ And now, O LORD, thou are God, and have promised this good thing to thy servant, ²⁷ and now it has pleased thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O LORD, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.
