2 Samuel 7.18-29
David Gives Thanks to the Lord

David went into the tent he had set up for the sacred chest. Then he
sat there and prayed:

Lord All-Powerful, my family and I don't deserve what you have already
done for us, and yet you have promised to do even more. Is this the
way you usually treat people? I am your servant, and you know my
thoughts, so there is nothing more that I need to say. You have done
this wonderful thing, and you have let me know about it, because you
wanted to keep your promise.

Lord All-Powerful, you are greater than all others. No one is like
you, and you alone are God. Everything we have heard about you is
true. And there is no other nation on earth like Israel, the nation
you rescued from slavery in Egypt to be your own. You became famous by
using great and wonderful miracles to force other nations and their
gods out of your land, so your people could live here. You have
chosen Israel to be your people forever, and you have become their
God.

And now, Lord God, please do what you have promised me and my
descendants. Then you will be famous forever, and everyone will say,
"The Lord God All-Powerful rules Israel, and David's descendants are
his chosen kings." After all, you really are Israel's God, the Lord
All-Powerful. You've told me that you will let my descendants be
kings. That's why I have the courage to pray to you like this, even
though I am only your servant.

Lord All-Powerful, you are God. You have promised me some very good
things, and you can be trusted to do what you promise. Please bless
my descendants and let them always be your chosen kings. You have
already promised, and I'm sure that you will bless my family forever.

God bless you.
