18 Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord [God]? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord [God]; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord [God]?
20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord [God], knowest thy servant.
21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.
