18 Then King Dauid went in, and sate before the Lorde, and sayde, Who am I, O Lorde God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God, therefore thou hast spoken also of thy seruants house for a great while: but doth this apperteine to man, O Lord God? 20 And what can Dauid say more vnto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy seruant. 21 For thy words sake, and according to thine owne heart hast thou done all these great things, to make them knowen vnto thy seruant. 22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lorde God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that wee haue heard with our eares. 23 And what one people in the earth is like thy people, like Israel? whose God went and redeemed them to himselfe, that they might be his people, and that hee might make him a name, and do for you great things, & terrible for thy land, O Lord, euen for thy people, whome thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, from the nations, and their gods? 24 For thou hast ordeyned to thy selfe thy people Israel to be thy people for euer: and thou Lord art become their God. 25 Nowe therefore, O Lorde God, confirme for euer the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and his house, and doe as thou hast sayde. 26 And let thy Name bee magnified for euer by them that shal say, The Lorde of hostes is the God ouer Israel: and let the house of thy seruant Dauid be stablished before thee. 27 For thou, O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, hast reueiled vnto thy seruant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy seruant bene bold to pray this prayer vnto thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And now, O Lord God, thou [art] that God,.... Who is the Lord of hosts, and the God of Israel, that has promised and is able to perform, and is faithful to his promise:
and thy words be true; are truly, punctually, and faithfully performed, never fail:
and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant; concerning building and establishing his house. David repeats this promise as being greatly affected with it, and fully assured of the performance of it.
