Contextual Overview
16 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and said, "Who am I, O God? What is my house, that You have brought me this far? 17 This was a small thing in Your eyes, O God. You have spoken of Your servant's house for a long time to come. You have thought of me as if I were an important man, O Lord God. 18 What more can David say to You about the honor given to Your servant? For You know Your servant. 19 You have made all this greatness, O Lord. You have made known all these great things, for Your servant, and by Your own heart. 20 O Lord, there is no one like You. There is no God other than You, by all that we have heard with our ears. 21 What other nation on earth is like Your people Israel? God went to free them to be His people. You made Yourself a name by great things which filled people with fear. You drove out the nations before Your people, whom You set free from Egypt. 22 You made Your people Israel to be Your people forever. And You, O Lord, became their God. 23 Now, O Lord, let the Word that You have spoken about Your servant and his house be made sure forever. Do as You have said. 24 Let Your name be made sure and honored forever, saying, ‘The Lord of All, the God of Israel, is Israel's God. And the house of Your servant David is made to last before You.' 25 For You, O my God, have made it known to Your servant that You will build a house for him. So Your servant has found strength of heart to pray to You.
