23 And there is no other nation on earth like Israel, the nation you rescued from slavery in Egypt to be your own. You became famous by using great and wonderful miracles to force other nations and their gods out of your land, so your people could live here.
24 You have chosen Israel to be your people for ever, and you have become their God.
25 And now, Lord God, please do what you have promised me and my descendants.
26 Then you will be famous for ever, and everyone will say, “The Lord God All-Powerful rules Israel, and David's descendants are his chosen kings.”
27 After all, you really are Israel's God, the Lord All-Powerful. You've told me that you will let my descendants be kings. That's why I have the courage to pray to you like this, even though I am only your servant.
28 Lord All-Powerful, you are God. You have promised me some very good things, and you can be trusted to do what you promise.
29 Please bless my descendants and let them always be your chosen kings. You have already promised, and I'm sure that you will bless my family for ever.
