Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works.

He is Jehovah our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Show forth his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

In all places wherein I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedar?

and I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast gone, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth.

And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,

and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all thine enemies. Moreover I tell thee that Jehovah will build thee a house.

And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;

but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

And this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; but thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Jehovah God.

O Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

O Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

These also did king David dedicate unto Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness unto all his people.
