2 Samuel 7:23-29 ▼

23 And what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, and to make a name for Himself, and to do a great thing for You and awesome things for Your land, because of Your people whom You have redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, from other nations and their gods?

24 For You have established for Yourself Your people Israel as Your own people forever, and You, LORD, have become their God.

25 Now then, LORD God, the word that You have spoken about Your servant and his house, confirm it forever, and do just as You have spoken,

26 so that Your name may be great forever, by saying, ‘The LORD of armies is God over Israel’; and may the house of Your servant David be established before You.

27 For You, LORD of armies, God of Israel, have given a revelation to Your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house’; therefore Your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to You.

28 Now then, Lord GOD, You are God, and Your words are truth; and You have promised this good thing to Your servant.

29 And now, may it please You to bless the house of Your servant, so that it may continue forever before You. For You, Lord GOD, have spoken; and with Your blessing may the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”
