And is this the manner{H8452} of man{H120}, O Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}? 20 And what can{H3254} David{H1732} say{H1696}{(H8763)} more{H3254}{(H8686)} unto thee? for thou, Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}, knowest{H3045}{(H8804)} thy servant{H5650}. 21 For thy word's{H1697} sake, and according to thine own heart{H3820}, hast thou done{H6213}{(H8804)} all these great things{H1420}, to make thy servant{H5650} know{H3045}{(H8687)} them. 22 Wherefore thou art great{H1431}{(H8804)}, 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}{(H8804)} 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}{(H8804)} to redeem{H6299}{(H8800)} for a people{H5971} to himself, and to make{H7760}{(H8800)} him a name{H8034}, and to do{H6213}{(H8800)} for you great things{H1420} and terrible{H3372}{(H8737)}, for thy land{H776}, before{H6440} thy people{H5971}, which thou redeemedst{H6299}{(H8804)} to thee from Egypt{H4714}, from the nations{H1471} and their gods{H430}? 24 For thou hast confirmed{H3559}{(H8787)} 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}{(H8804)} their God{H430}. 25 And now, O LORD{H3068} God{H430}, the word{H1697} that thou hast spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} concerning thy servant{H5650}, and concerning his house{H1004}, establish{H6965}{(H8685)} it for{H5704} ever{H5769}, and do{H6213}{(H8798)} as thou hast said{H1696}{(H8765)}. 26 And let thy name{H8034} be magnified{H1431}{(H8799)} for{H5704} ever{H5769}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 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}{(H8737)} before{H6440} thee. 27 For thou, O LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, hast revealed{H1540}{(H8804)}{H241} to thy servant{H5650}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, I will build{H1129}{(H8799)} thee an house{H1004}: therefore hath thy servant{H5650} found{H4672}{(H8804)} in his heart{H3820} to pray{H6419}{(H8692)} 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}{(H8762)} this goodness{H2896} unto thy servant{H5650}: 29 Therefore now let it please{H2974}{(H8685)} thee to bless{H1288}{(H8761)} 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}{(H8765)} it: and with thy blessing{H1293} let the house{H1004} of thy servant{H5650} be blessed{H1288}{(H8792)} for ever{H5769}.
