25. ‘And now, Lord God, keep for ever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised,
26. so that your name will be great for ever. Then people will say, “The Lord Almighty is God over Israel!” And the house of your servant David will be established in your sight.
27. ‘Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, “I will build a house for you.” So your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.
28. Sovereign Lord, you are God! Your covenant is trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant.
29. Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever in your sight; for you, Sovereign Lord, have spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed for ever.’
