2 Samuel 7:22-29

Christian Standard Bible

²² This is why you are great,^(A) Lord God. There is no one like you, and there is no God besides you,^(B) as all we have heard confirms. ²³ And who is like your people Israel? God came to one nation on earth in order to redeem a people for himself, to make a name for himself, and to perform for them^[a] great and awesome acts,^[b] driving out nations and their gods before your people you redeemed for yourself from Egypt.^{(C) 24} You established your people Israel to be your own people forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.^(D)

²⁵ Now, Lord God, fulfill the promise forever that you have made to your servant and his house. Do as you have promised, ²⁶ so that your name will be exalted forever, when it is said, “The Lord of Armies is God over Israel.” The house of your servant David^(E) will be established before you ²⁷ since you, Lord of Armies, God of Israel, have revealed this to your servant when you said, “I will build a house for you.” Therefore, your servant has found the courage to pray this prayer to you. ²⁸ Lord God, you are God; your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. ²⁹ Now, please bless your servant’s house so that it will continue before you forever. For you, Lord God, have spoken, and with your blessing your servant’s house will be blessed forever.^(F)
