16  And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Jehovah Elohim, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 17  And this hath been a small thing in thy sight, O God; and thou hast spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, Jehovah Elohim. 18  What can David say more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant. 19  Jehovah, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make known all these great things. 20  Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 21  And who is like thy people Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? 22  And thy people Israel hast thou made thine own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God. 23  And now, Jehovah, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. 24  Let it even be established, and let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, is God to Israel; and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee. 25  For thou, my God, hast revealed to thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray before thee.
