2 Samuel 7:23-29 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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.

28. And now, O Lord GOD thou art God, and thy words are truth, and thou hast promised this good thing unto thy servant:

29. now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
