David’s Thanksgiving to God

18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: a“Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?  
19 And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. aIs this the manner of man, O Lord God?  
20 Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord God, aknow Your servant.  
21 For Your word’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them.
22 Therefore aYou are great, O Lord God. For bthere is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our cears.  
23 And who is like Your people, like Israel, athe one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—before bYour people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods?  
24 For aYou have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; band You, Lord, have become their God.  
25 “Now, O Lord God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said.
26 So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.
27 For You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You.
28 “And now, O Lord God, You are God, and aYour words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.  
29 Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed aforever.”
