1 Chronicles 17:17-23 Common English Bible (CEB)

17. But even this was too small in your eyes, God. You have spoken about the future of your servant’s dynasty and have chosen me as an important person, Lord God.

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

19. Lord, for your servant’s sake and according to your will, you have done this great thing in order to make all these great things known.

20. Lord, no one can compare to you, no God except you, just as we have heard with our own ears.

21. Who is like your people Israel, a unique nation on the earth, that God redeemed as his own people, establishing a name for yourself by doing great and awesome things, by driving out nations before your people whom you saved from Egypt?

22. You established your people Israel as your own people forever, and you, Lord, became their God.

23. Now, Lord, confirm forever the promise you have made about your servant and his dynasty. Do as you have promised
