2 Samuel 7:23-29 ▼

23 And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people and to make for Himself a name, and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land before Your people, whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations and their gods?

24 For You have established for Yourself Your people Israel—Your very own people even to forever. And You, O YHWH, have become their God.

25 And now, O YHWH God, the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it even to forever, and do as You have said.

26 And let Your name be magnified even to forever, saying, ‘YHWH of Hosts is the God over Israel.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.

27 For You, O YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, have uncovered this to the ear of Your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.’ Upon thus Your servant has found it in his heart to pray to You this prayer.

28 And now, O Lord YHWH, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised to Your servant this goodness.

29 And now begin and bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O Lord YHWH, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”
