23. “And now, O Lord, fulfil for all time the promise you made about me and my descendants, and do what you said you would.
24. Your fame will be great, and people will for ever say, ‘The Lord Almighty is God over Israel.’ And you will preserve my dynasty for all time.
25. I have the courage to pray this prayer to you, my God, because you have revealed all this to me, your servant, and have told me that you will make my descendants kings.
26. You, Lord, are God, and you have made this wonderful promise to me.
27. I ask you to bless my descendants so that they will continue to enjoy your favour. You, Lord, have blessed them, and your blessing will rest on them for ever.”
