Legacy Standard Bible
25 So now, O Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with Your [a]servant David my father that which You have [b]promised him, saying, ‘(A)You shall not have a man cut off from before Me who is to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your sons keep their way to walk as you have walked before Me.’ 26 So now, O God of Israel, let Your word truly [c]endure (B)which You have spoken to Your [d]servant, my father David.
27 “But will God truly dwell on the earth? Behold, (C)heaven and the [e]highest heaven cannot [f]contain You; how much less this house which I have built!
