2 Samuel 7:26

David’s Prayer of Thanksgiving

25And now, O LORD God, confirm forever the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house. Do as You have promised,26so that Your name will be magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts is God over Israel.’ And the house of Your servant David will be established before You.27For You, O LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant when You said, ‘I will build a house for you.’ Therefore Your servant has found the courage to offer this prayer to You.
