2 Samuel 7:21-27 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

21. For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it.

22. Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23. And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem unto himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

24. And thou didst establish to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Lord, becamest their God.

25. And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou it for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.

26. And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is God over Israel: and the house of thy servant David shall be established before thee.

27. For thou, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
