2 Samuel 7:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:25

And now, O Lord God
From confessions of unworthiness, and of the goodness of God, and a recital of favours conferred on him and the people of Israel, David proceeds to petitions:

the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning
his house, establish [it] for ever:
he prays for the sure performance of the promise of God respecting himself and his family, and the stability and perpetual continuance of the kingdom in it, and has, no doubt, a special regard to the Messiah, the promised seed that should spring from him:

and do as thou hast said:
for though God had purposed and promised to do those several things, and would do them, yet it was expected by him, and it was right in David to pray for the performance of them; see ( Ezekiel 36:37 ) .

24 et firmasti tibi populum tuum Israhel in populum sempiternum et tu Domine factus es eis in Deum

25 nunc ergo Domine Deus verbum quod locutus es super servum tuum et super domum eius suscita in sempiternum et fac sicut locutus es

26 et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum atque dicatur Dominus exercituum Deus super Israhel et domus servi tui David erit stabilita coram Domino

27 quia tu Domine exercituum Deus Israhel revelasti aurem servi tui dicens domum aedificabo tibi propterea invenit servus tuus cor suum ut oraret te oratione hac
