14 He said:

Lord God of Israel,

there is no God like You

in heaven or on earth, v

keeping His gracious covenant

with Your servants who walk before You

with their whole heart. w

15 You have kept what You promised

to Your servant, my father David.

You spoke directly to him,

and You fulfilled Your promise by Your power,

as it is today. x

16 Therefore, Lord God of Israel,

keep what You promised

to Your servant, my father David:

“You will never fail to have a man

to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, y

if only your sons guard their way to walk in My Law

as you have walked before Me.”

17 Now, Lord God of Israel, please confirm

what You promised to Your servant David.

18 But will God indeed live on earth with man?

Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, z

much less this temple I have built.

19 Listen a to Your servant’s prayer and his petition,

Lord my God,

so that You may hear the cry and the prayer

that Your servant prays before You,
