2 Samuel 7:23-29

English Standard Version

^23 (A)And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem to be his people, making himself a name ^(B)and doing for them^[a] great and awesome things by driving out before your people,^[b] whom ^(C)you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods? ^24 (D)And you established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever. And you, O Lord, became their God. ²⁵ And now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken. ²⁶ And your name will be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel,’ and the house of your servant David will be established before you. ²⁷ For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. ²⁸ And now, O Lord God, you are God, and ^(E)your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. ²⁹ Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, ^(F)and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.”
