And David the king came in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, O Jehovah, and what is my house, that You have brought me thus far?

And this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God; but You have spoken to Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have looked upon me as a type of the Man who is on high, O Jehovah God!

What can David add still more to You concerning the honor being put on Your servant? For You know Your servant.

O Jehovah, for Your servant's sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

O Jehovah, there is none like You; and there is no God except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

And what one nation in the earth is as Your people Israel, whom God has brought out to ransom to Himself for a people, to make for Yourself a great and fearful name, to cast out the nationsfrom before Your people, whom You have ransomedout of Egypt.

Yea, You have chosen Your people Israel for Yourself, for a people forever, and You, O Jehovah, have been God to them.

And now, O Jehovah, the Word that You have spoken as to Your servant, and as to his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have spoken;

let it even be established, and Your name be great forever, saying, Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel is God to Israel; and the house of Your servant David shall be made to stand before You.

For You, O my God, You have uncovered the ear of Your servant, to build a house for him; on this account Your servant has found to pray before You.

And now, O Jehovah, You are God Himself, and You speak this goodness concerning Your servant.

And now, You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, to be forever before You; for You, O Jehovah, have blessed; yea, it is blessed forever!
