18. What more can I say to you for honoring your servant? You yourself know your servant.
19. Lord, for your servant’s sake and according to your will, you have done this great thing in order to make all these great things known.
20. Lord, no one can compare to you, no God except you, just as we have heard with our own ears.
21. Who is like your people Israel, a unique nation on the earth, that God redeemed as his own people, establishing a name for yourself by doing great and awesome things, by driving out nations before your people whom you saved from Egypt?
22. You established your people Israel as your own people forever, and you, Lord, became their God.
23. Now, Lord, confirm forever the promise you have made about your servant and his dynasty. Do as you have promised
24. so that it may be established and so that your name may be made great forever when people say, "The Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God." May your servant David’s household be established before you.
25. You, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a dynasty. That is why your servant has found the courage to pray this prayer to you.
26. Lord, you are truly God, and you promised this good thing to your servant.
27. So now willingly bless your servant’s dynasty so that it might continue forever before you, because you, Lord God, have promised. Let your servant’s dynasty be blessed forever by your blessing.
