21. “And who is like Your people Yisra’ĕl, the one nation on the earth whom Elohim went to redeem for Himself as a people; to make for Yourself a great and awesome Name, by driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed from Mitsrayim?

22. “For You appointed Your people Yisra’ĕl to be Your own people forever. And You, יהוה, have become their Elohim.

23. “And now, O יהוה, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it stand fast forever, and do as You have said.

24. “So let it stand fast, and Your Name be great forever, saying, ‘יהוה of hosts, Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, is Elohim to Yisra’ĕl. And let the house of Your servant Dawiḏ be established before You.’

25. “For You, O my Elohim, have revealed to Your servant to build a house for him. Therefore Your servant has found courage to pray before You.

26. “And now, יהוה, You are Elohim, and have promised this goodness to Your servant.

27. “And now, You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant to be before You forever. For You have blessed it, O יהוה, and it is blessed forever.”
