1 Chronicles 17:21-27 ▼

21 And what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make a name for Yourself by great and awesome and terrible things, by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed out of Egypt?

22 You made Your people Israel Your own people forever, and You, LORD, became their God.

23 “Therefore now, O LORD, let the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house endure forever, and do as You have said.

24 Let Your name [and the character that it denotes] endure and be magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, yes, a God to Israel; and the house of Your servant David is established before You.’

25 For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build for him a house (descendants); therefore Your servant has found courage to pray before You.

26 And now, O LORD, You are God, and you have spoken and promised this good thing to Your servant.

27 Therefore may it please You to bless the house (descendants) of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for what You bless, O LORD, is blessed forever.”
