2 Samuel 7:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 For thou hast [a]ordained to thyself thy people Israel to be thy people forever: and thou Lord art become their God.
25 Now therefore, O Lord God, confirm forever the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and his house, and do as thou hast said.
26 And let thy Name be magnified forever by them that shall say, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel, and let the [b]house of thy servant David be established before thee.
