THE MESSAGE
"This is what makes you so great, Master God ! There is none like you, no God but you, nothing to compare with what we've heard with our own ears. And who is like your people, like Israel, a nation unique in the earth, whom God set out to redeem for himself (and became most famous for it), performing great and fearsome acts, throwing out nations and their gods left and right as you saved your people from Egypt? You established for yourself a people—your very own Israel!—your people permanently. And you, God , became their God.

Contextual Overview
18 Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, Who am I, O Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? 19 And this was yet a small thing in your eyes, O Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your slave's house for a great while to come; and this is the law of man, O Lord Yahweh! 20 And what more can David say to you? for you know your slave, O Lord Yahweh. 21 For your word's sake, and according to your own heart, you have wrought all this greatness, to make your slave know it. 22 Therefore you are great, O Yahweh God: for there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 23 And what other nation on earth is like your people Israel, whose God went and redeemed a people for himself, and made a name for himself, and did great and awesome things for you to drive out nations and their gods before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself from Egypt? 24 And you established to yourself your people Israel to be a people to you forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God. 25 And now, O Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your slave, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken. 26 And let your name be magnified forever, saying, Yahweh of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of your slave David shall be established before you. 27 For you, O Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to your slave, saying, I will build you a house: therefore has your slave found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God,.... In his name, nature, persons, and perfections, purposes, promises, and works:
for [there is] none like thee; for his essence and attributes, for his greatness and goodness, for what he is in himself, for what he is to his people, and has done for them:
neither [is there any] God beside thee; there is but one God, the living and true God, the former and maker of all things; all others are but fictitious and factitious gods, see 1 Samuel 2:2;
according to all that we have heard with our ears; concerning what he did in the land of Egypt upon the Egyptians, and in the wilderness, in favour of the Israelites, and in the land of Canaan, by driving out the inhabitants before the people of Israel, and in the times of the judges, in raising them up to deliver his people.
