Who am I, Lord God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far? ¹⁷ This was a little thing to You,^[a] God, for You have spoken about Your servant’s house in the distant future. You regard me as a man of distinction,^[b] Lord God. ¹⁸ What more can David say to You for honoring Your servant? You know Your servant. ¹⁹ Lord, You have done all this greatness, making known all these great promises because of Your servant and according to Your will.^{(B) 20} Lord, there is no one like You, and there is no God besides You, as all we have heard confirms. ²¹ And who is like Your people Israel? God, You came to one nation on earth to redeem a people for Yourself, to make a name for Yourself through great and awesome works by driving out nations before Your people You redeemed from Egypt.^{(C) 22} You made Your people Israel Your own people forever, and You, Lord, have become their God.^(D)

²³ Now, Lord, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be confirmed forever, and do as You have promised. ²⁴ Let Your name be confirmed and magnified forever in the saying, “Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.” May the house of Your servant David be established before You. ²⁵ Since You, my God, have revealed to^[c](E) Your servant that You will build him a house, Your servant has found courage to pray in Your presence. ²⁶ Yahweh, You indeed are God, and You have promised this good thing to Your servant. ²⁷ So now, You have been pleased to bless Your servant’s house that it may continue before You forever. For You, Lord, have blessed it, and it is blessed forever.
