"'

"I have beenh1961 with you whereverh3605h834 you have goneh1980, and have cuth3772 offh3772 allh3605 your enemiesh340 from beforeh6440 you; and I will makeh6213a you a nameh8034 like the nameh8034 of the greath1419 onesh1419 whoh834 are in the earthh776.

"I will appointh7760 a placeh4725 for My peopleh5971a Israelh3478, and will planth5193 them, so that they may dwellh7931 in their own placeh8478 and not be movedh7264 againh5750; and the  1wickedh5767bh1121 will not wasteh1086 them anymoreh3254 as formerlyh7223,

10

even from the dayh3117 that I commandedh6680 judgesh8199 to be overh5921 My peopleh5971a Israelh3478. And I will subdueh3665 allh3605 your enemiesh340.

Moreover, I tellh5046 you that the LORDh3068 will buildh1129 a househ1004 for you.

11

"Whenh3588 your daysh3117 are fulfilledh4390 that you must goh1980 to be with your fathersh1, that I will seth6965 up one of your  1descendantsh2233 afterh310 you, whoh834 will be of your sonsh1121; and I will establishh3559 his kingdomh4438.

12

"He shall buildh1129 for Me a househ1004, and I will establishh3559 his throneh3678 foreverh5704h5769.

13

aI will be his fatherh1 and he shall be My sonh1121; and I will not takeh5493 My lovingkindnessh2617a awayh5493 from him,  bas I tookh5493 it from him whoh834 was beforeh6440 you.

14

"But I will settleh3427 him in My househ1004 and in My kingdomh4438 foreverh5704h5769, and his throneh3678 shall be establishedh3559 foreverh5704h5769.""'

17

"Thish2088 was a smallh6994 thingh6994 in Your eyesh5869, O Godh430; but You have spokenh1696 of Your servant'sh5650 househ1004 for a greath7350 whileh7350 to comeh7350, and have regardedh7200 me according to the standardh8447 of a manh120 of highh4609b degreeh4609b, O LORDh3068 Godh430.

18

"Whath4100 moreh3254 can Davidh1732 stillh5750 say to You concerning the honorh3519b bestowed on Your servanth5650? For You knowh3045 Your servanth5650.

19

"O LORDh3068,  afor Your servant'sh5650 sakeh5668, and according to Your own hearth3820, You have wroughth6213a allh3605 thish2088 greatnessh1420, to makeh3045 knownh3045 allh3605 these greath1420 thingsh1420.

20

"O LORDh3068, thereh369 is noneh369 likeh3644 You, norh369 is thereh369 any Godh430 besidesh2108 You, according to allh3605 that we have heardh8085 with our earsh241.

21

"And whath4310 oneh259 nationh1471 in the earthh776 is like Your peopleh5971a Israelh3478, whomh834 Godh430 wenth1980 to redeemh6299 for Himself as a peopleh5971a, to makeh7760 You a nameh8034 by greath1420 and terribleh3372a thingsh3372a, in drivingh1644 out nationsh1471 from beforeh6440 Your peopleh5971a, whomh834 You redeemedh6299 out of Egypth4714?

22

aFor Your peopleh5971a Israelh3478 You madeh5414 Your own peopleh5971a foreverh5704h5769, and You, O LORDh3068, becameh1961 their Godh430.

23

"Nowh6258, O LORDh3068, let the wordh1697 that You have spokenh1696 concerningh5921 Your servanth5650 and concerningh5921 his househ1004 be establishedh539 foreverh5704h5769, and doh6213a as You have spokenh1696.

24

"Let Your nameh8034 be establishedh539 and magnifiedh1431 foreverh5704h5769, sayingh559, `The LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 is the Godh430 of Israelh3478, even a Godh430 to Israelh3478; and the househ1004 of Davidh1732 Your servanth5650 is establishedh3559 beforeh6440 You.'

25

"For You, O my Godh430, have revealedh1540h241 to Your servanth5650 that You will buildh1129 for him a househ1004; thereforeh5921h3651 Your servanth5650 has foundh4672 courage to prayh6419 beforeh6440 You.

26

"Nowh6258, O LORDh3068, You are Godh430, and have  1promisedh1696 thish2088 goodh2899b thingh2899b to Your servanth5650.

27

"And nowh6258 it has pleasedh2974 You to blessh1288 the househ1004 of Your servanth5650, that it may  1continueh1961 foreverh5769 beforeh6440 You; for You, O LORDh3068, have blessedh1288, and it is blessedh1288 foreverh5769."
