Who am I, Lord God, and of what significance is my family that you have brought me this far? ¹⁹ But even this was too small in your eyes, Lord God! Now you have also spoken about your servant’s dynasty in the future and the generation to come,^[a] Lord God!

²⁴ You established your people Israel as your own people forever, and you, Lord, became their God.

²⁵ Now, Lord God, confirm forever the promise you have made about your servant and his dynasty. Do just as you have promised ²⁶ so that your name will be great forever when people say, “The Lord of heavenly forces is Israel’s God!” May your servant David’s household be established before you, ²⁷ because you, Lord of heavenly forces, Israel’s God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a dynasty for him. That is why your servant has found the courage to pray this prayer to you.

²⁸ Lord God, you are truly God! Your words are trustworthy, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. ²⁹ So now willingly bless your servant’s dynasty so that it might continue forever before you, because you, Lord God, have promised. Let your servant’s dynasty be blessed forever by your blessing.
