New Living Translation

1 Chronicles 17:22-27 New Living Translation (NLT)

22. You chose Israel to be your very own people forever, and you, O  lord, became their God.

23. “And now, O  lord, I am your servant; do as you have promised concerning me and my family. May it be a promise that will last forever.

24. And may your name be established and honored forever so that everyone will say, ‘The lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God!’ And may the house of your servant David continue before you forever.

25. “O my God, I have been bold enough to pray to you because you have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him—a dynasty of kings!

26. For you are God, O  lord. And you have promised these good things to your servant.

27. And now, it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, so that it will continue forever before you. For when you grant a blessing, O  lord, it is an eternal blessing!”
