Contextual Overview
16Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh and said, "Who am I, O Yahweh God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far? 17And this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God; but You have spoken of the house of Your slave concerning the distant future, and have regarded me according to the standard of a man of high degree, O Yahweh God. 18Again what more can David say to You concerning the glory bestowed on Your slave? You know Your slave. 19O Yahweh, for the sake of Your slave, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things. 20O Yahweh, there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 21And what one nation in the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make You a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed out of Egypt? 22Yet You gave Your people Israel to be Your own people forever, and You, O Yahweh, have become their God. 23"So now, O Yahweh, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your slave and concerning his house endure forever, and do as You have spoken, 24that Your name endure and be magnified forever, by saying, ‘Yahweh of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel; and the house of David Your servant is established before You.' 25For You, O my God, have revealed in the hearing of Your slave that You will build for him a house; therefore Your slave has found courage to pray before You.

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.
