David’s Prayer of Gratitude

18Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, aWho am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? 19And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God. bYou have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God! 20And what more can David say to you? cFor you know your servant, O Lord God! 21Because of your promise, and according to your own heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your servant know it. 22 dTherefore you are great, O Lord God. eFor there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 23 fAnd who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem to be his people, making himself a name gand doing for them

before your people, whom jyou redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods?
24 kAnd you established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever. And you, O Lord, became their God. 25And now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken. 26And your name will be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel,’ and the house of your servant David will be established before you. 27For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. 28And now, O Lord God, you are God, and lyour words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
