1 Chronicles 17:21
Verse 21 of 27. The 17th of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.
17This was a small thing in your eyes, O God, but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, LORD God.
18What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.
19LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
20LORD, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21What one nation on the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people whom you redeemed out of Egypt?
22For you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.
23Now, LORD, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.
24Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’
25For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.
