2 Samuel 7:19

17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< 2 Samuel 7:18

2 Samuel 7:20 >>

This - Which thou hast already done for me, that thou hast brought me hitherto, to that pitch of honour, and peace, and prosperity, in which through thy favour I now stand. Was small - Though it was more than I deserved, or could expect, yet thou didst not think it enough for thee to give to me. A great while - For many future ages, and indeed to all eternity. Is this, etc. - Do men use to deal so kindly with their inferiors, as thou hast done with me? No: this is the prerogative of divine grace.
