O Lord, [there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears (17:20) And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem [to be] his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? (17:21) For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Lord, becamest their God (17:22) Therefore now, Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said (17:23) Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts [is] the God of Israel, [even] a God to Israel: and [let] the house of David thy servant [be] established before thee (17:24) For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found [in his heart] to pray before thee (17:25) And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: (17:26) Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Lord, and [it shall be] blessed for ever
(17:27)
