Contextual Overview
18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and said, "Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that You have brought me this far? 19 Yet this was a small thing in Your eyes, O Lord God. You have spoken of Your servant's family in the future. And this is the way of man, O Lord God. 20 What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord God. 21 Because of Your Word and Your own heart, You have done all these great things to let Your servant know. 22 For this reason You are great, O Lord God. There is none like You. And there is no God but You, by all that we have heard with our ears. 23 What other nation on earth is like Your people Israel. God went to make them free to be His people and to make a name for Himself. You did a great thing for Yourself and great things for Your land. You did them before Your people whom You have made free from Egypt, from nations and their gods. 24 For You have made for Yourself Your people Israel to be Your people forever. O Lord, You have become their God. 25 Now, O Lord God, make sure forever the word which You have spoken about Your servant and his family. Do as You have said. 26 And Your name will be honored forever. It will be said, ‘The Lord of All is God over Israel.' May the family of Your servant David be made strong before You. 27 For You, O Lord of All, the God of Israel, have shown this to Your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.' So Your servant has found strength of heart to pray this prayer to You.

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.
