20. “There is no one like you, Lord. There is no God except you. We have heard all this ourselves.
21. There is no one like your people, the Israelites. It is the one nation on earth that God chose to be his people. You used them to make your name well-known. You did great and wonderful things for them. You went ahead of them and forced other nations out of the land. You freed your people from slavery in Egypt.
22. You made the people of Israel your very own people forever. And, Lord, you became their God.
23. “Lord, you made this promise about my family and me, your servant. Now, keep your promise forever. Do what you have promised.
24. Then people will know you and honor you forever. And people will say, ‘The Lord of heaven’s armies, the God over Israel, is Israel’s God!’ And the family of your servant David will continue before you.
25. “My God, you have told me that you would make my family great. So I, your servant, am brave enough to pray to you.
26. Lord, you are God. You have promised these good things to me, your servant.
27. You have chosen to bless my family. Let it continue before you forever. Lord, you have blessed my family. So it will be blessed forever.”
