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

¹⁶ And king David will come and sit before Jehovah, and he will say, Who am I, O Jehovah God, and what my house, that thou broughtest me even to hither? ¹⁷ And this will be small in thine eyes, O God; and thou wilt speak upon the house of thy servant to far off, and thou sawest me according to the manner of the man of the ascent, O Jehovah God. ¹⁸ What more shall David add to thee to honor thy servant? for thou knewest thy servant. ¹⁹ O Jehovah, for sake of thy servant, and according to thy heart, thou didst all this greatness to make known all thy greatnesses ²⁰ O Jehovah, none like thee, and no God besides thee, in all that we heard with our ears. ²¹ And what one nation as thy people Israel, in the earth, whom God went to redeem to him a people to set up to thee a name of greatnesses and terrible things, to thrust out nations from before thy people, whom thou didst redeem from Egypt? ²² And thou wilt give thy people Israel to thee for a people even to forever; and thou, O Jehovah, wert to them for God. ²³ And now, O Jehovah, the word which thou spakest concerning thy servant and concerning his house, shall be faithful even to forever, and do as thou spakest ²⁴ And it shall be firm, and thy name shall be magnified even to forever, saying, Jehovah of armies, God of Israel, is God to Israel: and the house of David thy servant was prepared before thee. ²⁵ For thou, my God, didst uncover the ear of thy servant to build for him a house: for this thy servant found to pray before thee. ²⁶ And now, O Jehovah, thou thyself art God, and thou wilt speak concerning thy servant this goodness. ²⁷ And now thou wert pleased to bless the house of thy servant, to be forever before thee: for thou didst bless, and blessing forever.
