23
So now, ADONAI, let the word that you spoke concerning your servant and his house be confirmed forever; do what you have promised.
24
May your name be confirmed and magnified forever; so that it will be said, 'ADONAI-Tzva'ot is the God of Isra'el and the God for Isra'el, and the dynasty of David your servant will be set up in your presence.'
25
For you, my God, have disclosed to your servant that you will build him a house. This is why your servant has the courage to pray to you.
26
Now, ADONAI, you are God; and you have made this wonderful promise to your servant;
27
and now it has pleased you to bless the family of your servant and thereby cause it to continue forever in your presence. For you, ADONAI, have blessed, and it is blessed forever."
