2 Samuel 7:20-26 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

20. "What more can I say to you? Lord and King, you know all about me.

21. You have done a wonderful thing. You have made it known to me. You have done it because that's what you said you would do. It's exactly what you wanted to do for me.

22. "Lord and King, how great you are! There isn't anyone like you. There isn't any God but you. We have heard about it with our own ears.

23. "Who is like your people Israel? God, we are the one nation on earth you have saved. You have set us free for yourself. Your name has become famous. You have done great and wonderful things. You have driven out nations and their gods to make room for your people. You saved us when you set us free from Egypt.

24. You made Israel your very own people forever. Lord, you have become our God.

25. "And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise you have made to me and my royal house. Do exactly as you promised.

26. Then your name will be honored forever. People will say, 'The Lord rules over all. He is God over Israel.' My royal house will be made secure in your sight.
