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 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²³ And what one nation in 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 terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

²⁴ For thou hast confirmed to 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 an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

²⁸ And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

²⁹ Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

¹⁸ Then went ^H935 king ^H4428 David ^H1732 in, and sat ^H3427 before ^H6440 the LORD, ^H3068 and he said, ^H559 Who am I, O Lord ^H136 GOD? ^H3069 and what is my house, ^H1004 that thou hast brought ^H935 me hitherto? ^H1988

¹⁹ And this was yet a small thing ^H6994 in thy sight, ^H5869 O Lord ^H136 GOD; ^H3069 but thou hast spoken ^H1696 also of thy servant's ^H5650 house ^H1004 for a great while to come. ^H7350 And is this the manner ^H8452 of man, ^H120 O Lord ^H136 GOD? ^H3069

²⁰ And what can ^H3254 David ^H1732 say ^H1696 more ^H3254 unto thee? for thou, Lord ^H136 GOD, ^H3069 knowest ^H3045 thy servant. ^H5650

²¹ For thy word's ^H1697 sake, and according to thine own heart, ^H3820 hast thou done ^H6213 all these great things, ^H1420 to make thy servant ^H5650 know ^H3045 them.

²² Wherefore thou art great, ^H1431 O LORD ^H3068 God: ^H430 for there is none like thee, neither is there any God ^H430 beside ^H2108 thee, according to all that we have heard ^H8085 with our ears. ^H241

²³ And what one ^H259 nation ^H1471 in the earth ^H776 is like thy people, ^H5971 even like Israel, ^H3478 whom God ^H430 went ^H1980 to redeem ^H6299 for a people ^H5971 to himself, and to make ^H7760 him a name, ^H8034 and to do ^H6213 for you great things ^H1420 and terrible, ^H3372 for thy land, ^H776 before ^H6440 thy people, ^H5971 which thou redeemedst ^H6299 to thee from Egypt, ^H4714 from the nations ^H1471 and their gods? ^H430

²⁴ For thou hast confirmed ^H3559 to thyself thy people ^H5971 Israel ^H3478 to be a people ^H5971 unto thee for ^H5704 ever: ^H5769 and thou, LORD, ^H3068 art become ^H1961 their God. ^H430

²⁵ And now, O LORD ^H3068 God, ^H430 the word ^H1697 that thou hast spoken ^H1696 concerning thy servant, ^H5650 and concerning his house, ^H1004 establish ^H6965 it for ^H5704 ever, ^H5769 and do ^H6213 as thou hast said. ^H1696

²⁶ And let thy name ^H8034 be magnified ^H1431 for ^H5704 ever, ^H5769 saying, ^H559 The LORD ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 is the God ^H430 over Israel: ^H3478 and let the house ^H1004 of thy servant ^H5650 David ^H1732 be established ^H3559 before ^H6440 thee.

²⁷ For thou, O LORD ^H3068 of hosts, ^H6635 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 hast revealed ^{H1540 H241} to thy servant, ^H5650 saying, ^H559 I will build ^H1129 thee an house: ^H1004 therefore hath thy servant ^H5650 found ^H4672 in his heart ^H3820 to pray ^H6419 this prayer ^H8605 unto thee.

²⁸ And now, O Lord ^H136 GOD, ^H3069 thou art that God, ^H430 and thy words ^H1697 be true, ^H571 and thou hast promised ^H1696 this goodness ^H2896 unto thy servant: ^H5650

²⁹ Therefore now let it please ^H2974 thee to bless ^H1288 the house ^H1004 of thy servant, ^H5650 that it may continue for ever ^H5769 before ^H6440 thee: for thou, O Lord ^H136 GOD, ^H3069 hast spoken ^H1696 it: and with thy blessing ^H1293 let the house ^H1004 of thy servant ^H5650 be blessed ^H1288 for ever. ^H5769

¹⁸ Then David the king went in, and sat before Jehovah; and he said, Who am I, O Lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?

¹⁹ And this was yet a small thing in thine eyes, O Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come; and this `too' after the manner of men, O Lord Jehovah!

²⁰ And what can David say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servant, O Lord Jehovah.

²¹ For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it.

²² Wherefore thou art great, O Jehovah 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 in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem unto himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for thy land, before thy people, whom thou redeemest to thee out of Egypt, `from' the nations and their gods?

²⁴ And thou didst establish to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, becamest their God.

²⁵ And now, O Jehovah God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou it for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.

²⁶ And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of thy servant David shall be established before thee.

²⁷ For thou, O Jehovah of hosts, the 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.

²⁸ And now, O Lord Jehovah, thou art God, and thy words are truth, and thou hast promised this good thing unto thy servant:

²⁹ now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

---

¹⁸ And king David cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, `Who `am' I, Lord Jehovah? and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?

¹⁹ And yet this `is' little in Thine eyes, Lord Jehovah, and Thou dost speak also concerning the house of Thy servant afar off; and this `is' the law of the Man, Lord Jehovah.

²⁰ And what doth David add more to speak unto Thee? and Thou, Thou hast known Thy servant, Lord Jehovah.

²¹ Because of Thy word, and according to Thy heart, Thou hast done all this greatness, to cause Thy servant to know `it'.

²² Therefore Thou hast been great, Jehovah God, for there is none like Thee, and there is no God save Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²³ `And who `is' as Thy people, as Israel -- one nation in the earth, whom God hath gone to redeem to Him for a people, and to make for Him a name -- and to do for you the greatness -- even fearful things for Thy land, at the presence of Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed to Thee out of Egypt -- `among the' nations and their gods?

²⁴ Yea, Thou dost establish to Thee Thy people Israel, to Thee for a people unto the age, and Thou, Jehovah, hast been to them for God.

²⁵ `And now, Jehovah God, the word which Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, establish unto the age, and do as Thou hast spoken;

²⁶ And Thy Name is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts `is' God over Israel, and the house of Thy servant David is established before Thee,

²⁷ For Thou, Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Thou hast uncovered the ear of Thy servant, saying, A house I build for thee, therefore hath Thy servant found his heart to pray unto Thee this prayer;

²⁸ And now, Lord Jehovah, Thou `art' God Himself, and Thy words are truth, and Thou speakest unto Thy servant this goodness,

²⁹ And now, begin and bless the house of Thy servant, to be unto the age before Thee, for Thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken, and by Thy blessing is the house of Thy servant blessed -- to the age.'

---

¹⁸ And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

¹⁹ And yet this hath been a small thing in thy sight, Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, Lord Jehovah?

²⁰ And what can David say more to thee? for thou, Lord Jehovah, knowest thy servant.

²¹ For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make thy servant know [it].

²² Wherefore thou art great, Jehovah Elohim; for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²³ And who is like thy people, like Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, and to make himself a name, and to do for them great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thyself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

²⁴ And thou hast established to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God.

²⁵ And now, Jehovah Elohim, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house, fulfil it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

²⁶ And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

²⁷ For thou, Jehovah of hosts, the 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.

²⁸ And now, Lord Jehovah, thou art that God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;

²⁹ and now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it; and with thy blessing shall the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

---

¹⁸ Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

¹⁹ This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come; and this [too] after the manner of men, Lord Yahweh!

²⁰ What can David say more to you? for you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.

²¹ For your word's sake, and according to your own heart, have you worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

²² Therefore you are great, Yahweh God: for there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²³ What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeem to you out of Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?

²⁴ You did establish to yourself your people Israel to be a people to you forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.

²⁵ Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm you it forever, and do as you have spoken.

²⁶ Let your name be magnified forever, saying, Yahweh of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.

²⁷ For you, Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, I will build you a house: therefore has your servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

²⁸ Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant:

²⁹ now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it: and with your blessing let the house of your servant be blessed forever.

---

¹⁸ Then David the king went in and took his seat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have been my guide till now?

¹⁹ And this was only a small thing to you, O Lord God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, O Lord God!

²⁰ What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant, O Lord God.

²¹ Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.

²² Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.

²³ And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, and to make a name for himself, and to do great and strange things for them, driving out a nation and its gods from before his people?

²⁴ But you took and made strong for yourself your people Israel, to be your people for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.

²⁵ And now, O Lord God, may the word which you have said about your servant and about his family, be made certain for ever, and may you do as you have said!

²⁶ And let your name be made great for ever, and let men say, The Lord of armies is God over Israel: and let the family of David your servant be made strong before you!

²⁷ For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.

²⁸ And now, O Lord God, you are God and your words are true and you have said you will give your servant this good thing;

²⁹ So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it,) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!
