2 Samuel 7:12-29

New American Standard Bible

¹²^(A)When your days are finished and you ^[a]^(B)lie down with your fathers, ^(C)I will raise up your ^[b]descendant after you, who will come from ^[c]you, and I will establish his kingdom. ¹³^(D)He shall build a house for My name, and ^(E)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ¹⁴^(F)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; ^(G)when he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and with strokes of sons of mankind, ¹⁵but My favor shall not depart from him, ^(H)as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from you. ¹⁶^(I)Your house and your kingdom shall endure before ^[d]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’” ¹⁷In accordance with all these words and all of this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

David’s Prayer

¹⁸Then David the king came in and sat before the Lord, and he said, “^(J)Who am I, Lord ^[e]God, and who are the members of my household, that You have brought me this far? ¹⁹And yet this was insignificant in Your eyes, Lord God, ^(K)for You have spoken also of the house of Your servant regarding the distant future. And ^(L)this is the ^[f]custom of mankind, Lord God. ²⁰Again what more can David say to You? For ^(M)You know Your servant, Lord God! ²¹^(N)For the sake of Your word, and according to Your heart, You have done all this greatness, to let Your servant know. ²²For this reason ^(O)You are great, Lord God; for ^(P)there is no one like You, and there is no God except You, ^(Q)according to all that we have heard with our ears. ²³And ^(R)what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, and to make a name for Himself, and ^(S)to do a great thing for You and awesome things for Your land, ^[g]because of ^(T)Your people whom ^(U)You have redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, from other nations and their gods? ²⁴For ^(V)You have established for Yourself Your people Israel as Your own people forever, and ^(W)You, Lord, have become their God. ²⁵Now then, Lord God, the word that You have spoken about Your servant and his house, confirm it forever, and do just as You have spoken, ²⁶^(X)so that Your name may be great forever, by saying, ‘The Lord of armies is God over Israel’; and may the house of Your servant David be established before You. ²⁷For You, Lord of armies, God of Israel, have ^[h]given a revelation to Your servant, saying, ‘^(Y)I will build you a house’; therefore Your servant has found ^[i]courage to pray this prayer to You. ²⁸Now then, Lord God, You are God, and ^(Z)Your words are truth; and You have ^[j]promised this good thing to Your servant. ²⁹And now, may ^[k]it please You to bless the house of Your servant, so that it may continue forever before You. For You, Lord God, have spoken; and ^[l]^(AA)with Your blessing may the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”

Psalm 89:3-52

New American Standard Bible

³“I have made a covenant with ^(A)My chosen;
I have ^(B)sworn to My servant David,
⁴I will establish your ^[a]^(C)descendants forever
And build up your ^(D)throne to all generations.” Selah

⁵The ^(E)heavens will praise Your wonders, Lord;
Your faithfulness also ^(F)in the assembly of the ^(G)holy ones.
⁶For ^(H)who in the skies is comparable to the Lord?
Who among the ^[b]^(I)sons of the mighty is like the Lord,
⁷A God ^(J)greatly feared in the council of the ^(K)holy ones,
And ^(L)awesome above all those who are around Him?
⁸Lord God of armies, ^(M)who is like You, mighty ^[c]Lord?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
⁹You rule the surging of the sea;
When its waves rise, You ^(N)calm them.
¹⁰You Yourself crushed ^[d]^(O)Rahab like one who is slain;
You ^(P)scattered Your enemies with ^[e]Your mighty arm.

¹¹The ^(Q)heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The ^(R)world and ^[f]all it contains, You have established them.
¹²The ^(S)north and the south, You have created them;
^(T)Tabor and ^(U)Hermon ^(V)shout for joy at Your name.
¹³You have ^[g]a strong arm;
Your hand is mighty, Your ^(W)right hand is exalted.
¹⁴^(X)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
^(Y)Mercy and ^[h]truth go before You.
¹⁵Blessed are the people who know the ^[i]^(Z)joyful sound!
Lord, they walk in the ^(AA)light of Your face.
¹⁶In ^(AB)Your name they rejoice all the day,
And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
¹⁷For You are the glory of ^(AC)their strength,
And by Your favor ^[j]our ^(AD)horn is exalted.
¹⁸For our ^(AE)shield belongs to the Lord,
^[k]And our king to the ^(AF)Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹^[l]Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ^[m]ones,
And said, “I have ^[n]given help to one who is ^(AG)mighty;
I have exalted one ^(AH)chosen from the people.
²⁰I have ^(AI)found My servant David;
With My holy ^(AJ)oil I have anointed him,
²¹With whom ^(AK)My hand will be established;
My arm also will ^(AL)strengthen him.
²²The enemy will not ^[o]deceive him,
Nor will the ^[p]^(AM)son of wickedness afflict him.
²³But I will ^(AN)crush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.
²⁴My ^(AO)faithfulness and My favor will be with him,
And in My name his ^(AP)horn will be exalted.
²⁵I will also place his hand ^(AQ)on the sea,
And his right hand on the rivers.
²⁶He will call to Me, ‘You are ^(AR)my Father,
My God, and the ^(AS)rock of my salvation.’
²⁷I will also make him My ^(AT)firstborn,
The ^(AU)highest of the kings of the earth.
²⁸I will maintain My ^(AV)favor for him forever,
And My ^(AW)covenant shall be confirmed to him.
²⁹So I will establish his ^[q]^(AX)descendants forever,
And his ^(AY)throne ^(AZ)as the days of heaven.

³⁰“If his sons ^(BA)abandon My Law
And do not walk in My judgments,
³¹If they ^[r]violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
³²Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the ^(BB)rod,
And their guilt with ^[s]afflictions.
³³But I will not ^[t]withhold ^(BC)My favor from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
³⁴I will not ^[u]violate My ^(BD)covenant,
Nor will I ^(BE)alter ^[v]the utterance of My lips.
³⁵^[w]Once I have ^(BF)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
³⁶His ^[x]^(BG)descendants shall endure forever,
And his ^(BH)throne ^(BI)as the sun before Me.
³⁷It shall be established forever ^(BJ)like the moon,
And a ^(BK)witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah

³⁸But You have ^(BL)rejected and ^(BM)refused,
You have been full of wrath ^[y]against Your ^(BN)anointed.
³⁹You have ^[z]^(BO)repudiated the covenant of Your servant;
You have ^(BP)profaned ^(BQ)his crown ^[aa]in the dust.
⁴⁰You have ^(BR)broken down all his walls;
You have ^(BS)brought his strongholds to ruin.
⁴¹^(BT)All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a ^(BU)disgrace to his neighbors.
⁴²You have ^(BV)exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have ^(BW)made all his enemies rejoice.
⁴³You also turn back the edge of his sword,
And have ^(BX)not made him stand in battle.
⁴⁴You have put an end to his ^[ab]^(BY)splendor
And cast his throne to the ground.
⁴⁵You have ^(BZ)shortened the days of his youth;
You have ^(CA)covered him with shame. Selah

⁴⁶^(CB)How long, Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your ^(CC)wrath burn like fire?
⁴⁷^(CD)Remember ^[ac]what my lifespan is;
For what ^(CE)futility ^[ad]You have created all the sons of mankind!
⁴⁸What man can live and not ^(CF)see death?
Can he ^(CG)save his soul from the ^[ae]power of ^[af]Sheol? Selah

⁴⁹Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord,
Which You ^(CH)swore to David in Your faithfulness?
⁵⁰Remember, Lord, the ^(CI)taunt against Your servants;
^[ag]How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,
⁵¹With which ^(CJ)Your enemies have taunted, Lord,
With which they have taunted the footsteps of ^(CK)Your anointed.

⁵²^(CL)Blessed be the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.
