2 Samuel 7:8-16
Christian Standard Bible
8 “So now this is what you are to say to my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord of Armies says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, to be ruler over my people Israel.(A) 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before you. I will make a great name(B) for you like that of the greatest on the earth.(C) 10 I will designate a place(D) for my people Israel and plant them,(E) so that they may live there and not be disturbed again. Evildoers will not continue to oppress them as they have done 11 ever since the day I ordered judges to be over my people Israel.(F) I will give you rest from all your enemies.
“‘The Lord declares to you: The Lord himself will make a house for you. 12 When your time comes and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up after you your descendant, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.(G) 13 He is the one who will build a house for my name,(H) and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.(I) 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son.(J) When he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and blows from mortals. 15 But my faithful love will never leave him(K) as it did when I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.(L) 16 Your house and kingdom will endure before me[a] forever,(M) and your throne will be established forever.’”(N)

Christian Standard Bible
2 The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;(A)
a light has dawned
on those living in the land of darkness.(B)
3 You have enlarged the nation
and increased its joy.[a](C)
The people have rejoiced before you
as they rejoice at harvest time
and as they rejoice when dividing spoils.(D)
4 For you have shattered their oppressive yoke(E)
and the rod on their shoulders,
the staff of their oppressor,
just as you did on the day of Midian.(F)
5 For every trampling boot of battle
and the bloodied garments of war
will be burned as fuel for the fire.
6 For a child will be born for us,
a son will be given to us,(G)
and the government will be on his shoulders.(H)
He will be named
Wonderful Counselor,(I) Mighty God,(J)
Eternal Father,(K) Prince of Peace.(L)
7 The dominion will be vast,
and its prosperity will never end.(M)
He will reign on the throne of David
and over his kingdom,
to establish and sustain it
with justice and righteousness from now on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord of Armies will accomplish this.(N)

A Blind Man Healed
46 They(A) came to Jericho.(B) And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind(C) beggar,(D) was sitting by the road.(E) 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,(F) he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David,(G) have mercy(H) on me!” (I) 48 Many warned him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me,(J) Son of David!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage!(K) Get up; he’s calling for you.” 50 He threw off his coat,(L) jumped up, and came to Jesus.
51 Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want(M) me to do for you?”
“Rabboni,”[a](N) the blind man said to him, “I want to see.”
52 Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has saved you.”(O) Immediately he could see and began to follow Jesus on the road.
