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

¹⁶ and sat him before the LORD and said, "What am I, O LORD God, and what is mine household, that thou hast promoted me thus far? ¹⁷ And yet this seemed little in thine eyes O God. But that thou shouldest speak of thy servant's house for a great while to come: and hast looked upon me as upon a man of high degree, O LORD God. ¹⁸ What can David desire more of thee, wherein thou shouldest make thy servant more glorious? Thou knowest thy servant: ¹⁹ And LORD, for thy servant's sake, even according to thine own heart thou hast done all this magnificence, ²⁰ to show all bounteousness LORD, there is none like thee, nor any God save thou, according to all that we have heard with our ears. ²¹ Moreover, what nation on the earth is like thy people Israel, which God went and redeemed to be his own people, and to make thee a name of excellency and terribleness, with casting out nations from before thy people forever? ²² And thou LORD art become their God. ²³ And now LORD the thing thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and his house be true forever, and do as thou hast said. ²⁴ And thy name continue and wax great forever, that it be said, 'the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel is God in Israel, and the house of David thy servant be stable before thee.' ²⁵ For thou Lord hast told thy servant, that thou wilt build him a house. And therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee. ²⁶ And now LORD thou art the very God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant. ²⁷ Now therefore go to and bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue before thee forever. For what thou blessest, O LORD that is blessed forever."
