2 SAMUEL 7:21-29
FOR THY WORD'S SAKE,
AND
ACCORDING TO THINE OWN HEART,
HAST THOU DONE
ALL THESE GREAT THINGS,
TO MAKE THY SERVANT
KNOW THEM.
WHEREFORE THOU ART GREAT,
O LORD GOD:
FOR THERE IS NONE LIKE THEE,
NEITHER IS THERE ANY GOD
BESIDE THEE,
ACCORDING TO ALL
THAT WE HAVE HEARD
WITH OUR EARS.
AND
WHAT ONE NATION
IN THE EARTH IS LIKE
THY PEOPLE,
EVEN LIKE ISRAEL,
WHOM GOD WENT TO REDEEM
FOR A PEOPLE TO HIMSELF,
AND
TO MAKE HIM A NAME,
AND TO DO FOR YOU
GREAT THINGS AND TERRIBLE,
FOR THY LAND,
BEFORE THY PEOPLE,
WHICH THOU REDEEMEDST
TO THEE FROM EGYPT,
FROM
THE NATIONS AND THEIR GODS?
FOR
THOU HAST CONFIRMED
TO THYSELF THY PEOPLE
ISRAEL TO BE A PEOPLE
UNTO THEE FOR EVER:
AND THOU, LORD,
ART BECOME THEIR GOD.
AND NOW, O LORD GOD,
THE WORD THAT THOU
HAST SPOKEN CONCERNING
THY SERVANT,
AND
CONCERNING HIS HOUSE,
ESTABLISHED IT FOR EVER,
AND DO AS
THOU HAST SAID.
AND
LET THY NAME BE
MAGNIFIED FOR EVER,
SAYING, THE LORD OF HOSTS
IS
THE GOD OVER ISRAEL:
AND
LET THE HOUSE OF THY
SERVANT DAVID BE ESTABLISHED
BEFORE THEE.
FOR THOU, O LORD OF HOSTS,
GOD OF ISRAEL,
HAST REVEALED TO THY SERVANT,
SAYING, I WILL BUILD THEE
AN HOUSE;
THEREFORE HATH
THY SERVANT FOUND
IN HIS HEART
TO PRAY THIS PRAYER
UNTO THEE.
AND NOW, O LORD GOD,
THOU ART THAT GOD,
AND
THY WORDS BE TRUE,
AND
THOU HAST PROMISE
THIS GOODNESS UNTO THY SERVANT:
THEREFORE
NOW LET IT PLEASE
THEE TO BLESS
THE HOUSE OF THY SERVANT,
THAT IT MAY CONTINUE
FOR EVER BEFORE THEE:
FOR THOU,
O LORD GOD,
HAST SPOKEN IT:
AND
WITH THY BLESSING
LET
THE HOUSE OF THY SERVANT
BE BLESSED FOR EVER.
LOVE
