1 Chronicles 17:20-26 Common English Bible (CEB)

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

24. so that it may be established and so that your name may be made great forever when people say, "The Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God." May your servant David’s household be established before you.

25. You, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a dynasty. That is why your servant has found the courage to pray this prayer to you.

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