Contextual Overview

¹⁶ And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Jehovah Elohim, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? ¹⁷ And this hath been a small thing in thy sight, O God; and thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, Jehovah Elohim. ¹⁸ What can David [say] more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant. ¹⁹ Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make known all these great things. ²⁰ Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. ²¹ And who is like thy people Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? ²² And thy people Israel hast thou made thine own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God. ²³ And now, Jehovah, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. ²⁴ Let it even be established, and let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, is God to Israel; and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee. ²⁵ For thou, my God, hast revealed to thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore hath thy servant found [in his heart] to pray before thee.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For the honor of thy servant - i. e., “for the honor which Thou hast done for Thy servant.” The Septuagint omits “Thy servant,” and renders it: “What can David say more to Thee to glorify Thee? For Thou knowest,” etc.
