1 Chronicles 17:16-27

New International Reader's Version NIRV

16 Then King David went into the holy tent. He sat down in front of the Lord. He said, "LORD God, who am I? My family isn't important. So why have you brought me this far?

17 I would have thought that you had already done more than enough for me. But now, God, you have spoken about what is going to happen to my royal house in days to come. LORD God, you have treated me as if I were the most honored man of all.

18 "What more can I say to you for honoring me? You know all about me.

19 Lord, you have done a wonderful thing. You have given me many great promises. All of them are for my good. They are exactly what you wanted to give me.

20 "Lord, there isn't anyone like you. There isn't any God but you. We have heard about it with our own ears.

21 "Who is like your people Israel? God, we are the one nation on earth you have saved. You have set us free for yourself. Your name has become famous. You have done great and wonderful things. You have driven nations out to make room for your people. You saved us when you set us free from Egypt. No other god has done any of those things for its people.

22 You made Israel your very own people forever. Lord, you have become our God.

23 "And now, Lord, let the promise you have made to me and my royal house stand forever. Do exactly as you promised.

24 When your promise comes true, your name will be honored forever. People will say, 'The LORD rules over all. He is the God over Israel. He is Israel's God.' My royal house will be made secure in your sight.

25 "My God, you have shown me that you will build me a royal house. So I can pray to you boldly.

26 Lord, you are God! You have promised many good things to me.

27 You have been pleased to bless my royal house. Now it will continue forever in your sight. Lord, you have blessed it. And it will be blessed forever."

New International Version NIV

16 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: “Who am I, LORD God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?

17 And as if this were not enough in your sight, my God, you have spoken about the future of the house of your servant. You, LORD God, have looked on me as though I were the most exalted of men.

18 “What more can David say to you for honoring your servant? For you know your servant,

19 LORD. For the sake of your servant and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made known all these great promises.

20 “There is no one like you, LORD, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.

21 And who is like your people Israel—the one nation on earth whose God went out to redeem a people for himself, and to make a name for yourself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt?

22 You made your people Israel your very own forever, and you, LORD, have become their God.

23 “And now, LORD, let the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house be established forever. Do as you promised,

24 so that it will be established and that your name will be great forever. Then people will say, ‘The LORD Almighty, the God over Israel, is Israel’s God!’ And the house of your servant David will be established before you.

25 “You, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him. So your servant has found courage to pray to you.

26 You, LORD, are God! You have promised these good things to your servant.

27 Now you have been pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”
