hast brought me thus far?
7:19. Bur yet this hath seemed little in thy sight, O Lord God, unless
thou didst also speak of the house of thy servant for a long time to
come: for this is the law of Adam, O Lord God:
7:20. And what can David say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy
servant, O Lord God:
7:21. For thy word's sake, and according to thy own heart thou has done
all these great things, so that thou wouldst make it known to thy
servant.
7:22. Therefore thou art magnified, O Lord God, because there is none
like to thee, neither is there any God besides thee, in all the things
that we have heard with our ears.
7:23. And what nation is there upon earth, as thy people Israel, whom
God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and
to do for them great and terrible things, upon the earth, before the
face of thy people, whom thou redeemedst to thyself out of Egypt, from
the nations and their gods.
7:24. For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be an
everlasting people: and thou, O Lord God, art become their God.
7:25. And now, O Lord God, raise up for ever the word that thou hast
spoken, concerning thy servant and concerning his house: and do as thou
hast spoken,
7:26. That thy name may be magnified for ever, and it may be said: The
Lord of hosts is God over Israel. And the house of thy servant David

ear of thy servant, saying: I will build thee a house: therefore hath
thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee.
7:28. And now, O Lord God, thou art God, and thy words shall be true:
for thou hast spoken to thy servant these good things.
7:29. And now begin, and bless the house of thy servant, that it may
endure for ever before thee: because thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it,
and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
