New Testament

1 Chronicles 17:22-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

27. And you have begun to bless the house of your servant, so that it may be always before you. For since it is you who is blessing, O Lord, it shall be blessed forever."
