1 Chronicles 17:16-27 - David's Prayer
16 Then King David went in and sat in Jehovah's presence. He said: Who am I, O Jehovah? What is my family, that you have brought me this far? 17 If this were not enough in your sight, O God, you have spoken about the future of the house of your servant. You have looked on me as though I were the most exalted of men, O Jehovah my God. 18 What more can David say to you for honoring your servant? For you know your servant 19 Jehovah. For the sake of your servant and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made known all these great promises. 20 There is no one like you Jehovah and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. 21 Who is like your people Israel? Israel is the one nation on earth who's God went out to redeem a people. You redeemed your people from Egypt. You make a name for yourself, and perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before your people. 22 You made your people Israel your very own for a very long time, and you, O Jehovah, have become their God. 23 Now, Jehovah, let the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house be established from generation to generation. Do as you promised! 24 It will be established and your name will be great forever. Then men will say: Jehovah of Hosts, the God over Israel, is Israel's God! And the house of your servant David will be established before you. 25 You, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him. So your servant has found courage to pray to you. 26 O JEHOVAH, YOU ARE GOD! You have promised these good things to your servant. 27 You have been pleased to bless the house of your servant that it may continue for a very long time in your sight. You Jehovah have blessed it and it will be blessed from generation to generation.
