21. For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.
22. ‘How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.
23. And who is like your people Israel – the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt?
24. You have established your people Israel as your very own for ever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
25. ‘And now, Lord God, keep for ever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised,
26. so that your name will be great for ever. Then people will say, “The Lord Almighty is God over Israel!” And the house of your servant David will be established in your sight.
27. ‘Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, “I will build a house for you.” So your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.
