22 How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is none like you; we have always known that you alone are God.
23 There is no other nation on earth like Israel, whom you rescued from slavery to make them your own people. The great and wonderful things you did for them have spread your fame throughout the world. You drove out other nations and their gods as your people advanced, the people whom you set free from Egypt to be your own.
24 You have made Israel your own people for ever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
25 “And now, Lord God, fulfil for all time the promise you made about me and my descendants, and do what you said you would.
26 Your fame will be great, and people will for ever say, ‘The Lord Almighty is God over Israel.’ And you will preserve my dynasty for all time.
27 Almighty Lord, God of Israel! I have the courage to pray this prayer to you, because you have revealed all this to me, your servant, and have told me that you will make my descendants kings.
28 “And now, Sovereign Lord, you are God; you always keep your promises, and you have made this wonderful promise to me.
