1Chr.17.17

But that's nothing compared to what's coming, for you've also spoken of my family far into the future, given me a glimpse into tomorrow and looked on me, Master GOD, as a Somebody.

1Chr.17.17

And as if this were not enough in your sight, O God, you have spoken about the future of the house of your servant. You have looked on me as though I were the most exalted of men, O LORD God.

1Chr.17.17

And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

1Chr.17.17

And now, O God, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving me a lasting dynasty! You speak as though I were someone very great, O LORD God!

1Chr.17.19

O GOD, out of the goodness of your heart, you've taken your servant to do this great thing and put your great work on display.

1Chr.17.19

O LORD. For the sake of your servant and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made known all these great promises.

1Chr.17.20

"O LORD, there is no one like you--there is no other God. We have never even heard of another god like you!

1Chr.17.21

And who is like your people, like Israel, a nation unique on earth, whom God set out to redeem as his own people (and became most famous for it), performing great and fearsome acts, throwing out nations and their gods left and right as you saved your people from Egypt?

1Chr.17.21

And who is like your people Israel-the one nation on earth whose God went out to redeem a people for himself, and to make a name for yourself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt?

What other nation on earth is like Israel? What other nation, O God, have you redeemed from slavery to be your own people? You made a great name for yourself when you rescued your people from Egypt. You performed awesome miracles and drove out the nations that stood in their way.

1Chr.17.22

You established for yourself a people--your very own Israel!-your people forever. And you, GOD, became their God.

1Chr.17.23

"And now, LORD, let the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house be established forever. Do as you promised,

"And now, O LORD, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have said.

1Chr.17.23

"And now, O LORD, do as you have promised concerning me and my family. May it be a promise that will last forever.

1Chr.17.24

Then your reputation will be confirmed and flourish always as people exclaim, "The GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God over Israel, is Israel's God!" And the house of your servant David will remain rock solid under your watchful presence.

1Chr.17.24

so that it will be established and that your name will be great forever. Then men will say, 'The LORD Almighty, the God over Israel, is Israel's God!' And the house of your servant David will be established before you.

And may your name be established and honored forever so that all the world will say, `The LORD Almighty is God over Israel!' And may the dynasty of your servant David be established in your presence.

1Chr.17.25
