1 Chronicles 17 — Context

20

O Lord, there is no one like you. And there is no other God apart from you, out of all whom we have heard about with our ears.

21

For what other single nation upon earth is like your people Israel, to whom God reached out, so that he might free them, and might make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terribleness cast out the nations before the face of those whom he had freed from Egypt?

22

And you have set your people Israel to be your people, even unto eternity. And you, O Lord, have become their God.

23

Now therefore, O Lord, let the word that you have spoken to your servant, and over his house, be confirmed in perpetuity, and do just as you have spoken.

24

And may your name remain and be magnified even for all time. And let it be said: ‘The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel. And the house of his servant David remains forever before him.’

25

For you, O Lord my God, have revealed to the ear of your servant that you will build a house for him. And therefore your servant has found faith so that he might pray before you.

26

Now then, O Lord, you are God. And you have spoken to your servant such great benefits.
