21. “Is there, like your people Israel, whom you redeemed from Egypt, another nation on earth whom a god went to redeem as his people? You won for yourself a name for great and awesome deeds by driving out the nations before your people.
22. You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, became their God.
23. Now, Lord, may the promise that you have spoken concerning your servant and his house remain firm forever. Bring about what you have promised,
24. that your name, Lord of hosts, God of Israel, may be great and abide forever, while the house of your servant is established in your presence.
25. “Because you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house, your servant dares to pray before you.
26. Since you, Lord, are truly God and have made this generous promise to your servant,
27. do, then, bless the house of your servant, that it may be in your presence forever—since it is you, Lord, who blessed it, it is blessed forever.”
