2 Samuel 7:17-23 World English Bible (WEB)

17. Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.

18. Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?

19. This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord Yahweh!

20. What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.

21. For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

22. Therefore you are great, Yahweh God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23. What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
