2 Samuel 7:20-29
7:20 What more can David say to you? You have given your servant special recognition,
1 O
Lord God!
7:21 For the sake of your promise and according to your purpose
2 you have done this great thing in order to reveal it to your servant.
3
7:22 Therefore you are great, O
Lord God, for there is none like you! There is no God besides you! What we have heard is true!
4
7:23 Who is like your people, Israel, a unique nation
5 on the earth? Their God
6 went
7 to claim
8 a nation for himself and to make a name for himself! You did great and awesome acts for your land,
9 before your people whom you delivered for yourself from the Egyptian empire and its gods.
10
7:24 You made Israel your very own people for all time.
11 You, O
Lord, became their God.
7:25 So now, O
Lord God, make this promise you have made about your servant and his family a permanent reality.
12 Do as you promised,
13
7:26 so you may gain lasting fame,
14 as people say,
15 ‘The
Lord of hosts is God over Israel!’ The dynasty
16 of your servant David will be established before you,
7:27 for you, O
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have told
17 your servant, ‘I will build you a dynastic house.’
18 That is why your servant has had the courage
19 to pray this prayer to you.
7:28 Now, O sovereign
Lord, you are the true God!
20 May your words prove to be true!
21 You have made this good promise to your servant!
22
7:29 Now be willing to bless your servant’s dynasty
23 so that it may stand permanently before you, for you, O sovereign
Lord, have spoken. By your blessing may your servant’s dynasty be blessed on into the future!”
