2 Samuel 7:18-23 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

18. Then King David went in and sat in the Lord’s presence and said, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is my house, that you should have brought me so far?

19. And yet even this is too little in your sight, Lord God! For you have made a promise regarding your servant’s house reaching into the future, and giving guidance to the people, Lord God!

20. What more can David say to you? You know your servant, Lord God!

21. For your servant’s sake and as you have had at heart, you have brought about this whole magnificent disclosure to your servant.

22. Therefore, great are you, Lord God! There is no one like you, no God but you, as we have always heard.
