1 Chronicles 17:21-27 ▼

21 And who is like your people, Israel, a unique nation in the earth? Their God went to claim a nation for himself! You made a name for yourself by doing great and awesome deeds when you drove out nations before your people whom you had delivered from the Egyptian empire and its gods.

22 You made Israel your very own nation for all time. You, O LORD, became their God.

23 So now, O LORD, may the promise you made about your servant and his family become a permanent reality! Do as you promised,

24 so it may become a reality and you may gain lasting fame, as people say, 'The LORD who commands armies is the God of Israel.' David's dynasty will be established before you,

25 for you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a dynasty for him. That is why your servant has had the courage to pray to you.

26 Now, O LORD, you are the true God; you have made this good promise to your servant.

27 Now you are willing to bless your servant's dynasty so that it may stand permanently before you, for you, O LORD, have blessed it and it will be blessed from now on into the future.|
