17This was a little thing to you,17:17 Lit thing in your eyes God, for you have spoken about your servant’s house in the distant future. You regard me as a man of distinction,17:17 Hb obscureLord God.

18What more can David say to you for honoring your servant? You know your servant.

19Lord, you have done this whole great thing, making known all these great promises for the sake of your servant and according to your will.17:19 Is 37:35

20Lord, there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, as all we have heard confirms.

21And who is like your people Israel? God, you came to one nation on earth to redeem a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself through great and awesome works by driving out nations before your people you redeemed from Egypt.17:21 Dt 4:32–38

22You made your people Israel your own people forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.17:22 Ex 6:7; 19:5–6

23Now, Lord, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and his house be confirmed forever, and do as you have promised.

24Let your name be confirmed and magnified forever in the saying, “The Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.” May the house of your servant David be established before you.

25Since you, my God, have revealed to17:25 Lit have uncovered the ear of17:25 Ex 6:7; 19:5–6 your servant that you will build him a house, your servant has found courage to pray in your presence.

26Lord, you indeed are God, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.

27So now, you have been pleased to bless your servant’s house that it may continue before you forever. For you, Lord, have blessed it, and it is blessed forever.
