18 Then King David went into the Tent of the Lord's presence, sat down and prayed, “Sovereign Lord, I am not worthy of what you have already done for me, nor is my family.
19 Yet now you are doing even more, Sovereign Lord; you have made promises about my descendants in the years to come. And you let a man see this, Sovereign Lord!
20 What more can I say to you! You know me, your servant.
21 It was your will and purpose to do this; you have done all these great things in order to instruct me.
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 forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
