2 Samuel 7:17-27

17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18 Then went King David in and sat before the LORD, and he said: "Who am I, O Lord GOD? And what is my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
19 And this was yet a small thing in Thy sight, O Lord GOD; but Thou hast spoken also of Thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
20 And what can David say more unto Thee? For Thou, Lord GOD, knowest Thy servant.
21 For Thy word's sake and according to Thine own heart hast Thou done all these great things to make Thy servant know them.
22 Therefore Thou art great, O LORD God; for there is none like Thee, neither is there any God besides Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 And what one nation on the earth is like Thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to Himself, and to make Him a name and to do for You great things and fearsome for Thy land, before Thy people whom Thou redeemed to Thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24 For Thou hast confirmed for Thyself Thy people Israel to be a people unto Thee for ever; and Thou, LORD, art become their God.
25 And now, O LORD God, the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as Thou hast said.
26 And let Thy name be magnified for ever saying, `The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel'; and let the house of Thy servant David be established before Thee.
27 For Thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to Thy servant, saying, `I will build thee a house.' Therefore hath Thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto Thee.
