David praises Yahweh

1 Chr 17:16–27

17:16 David praises Yahweh

(2 Sam. 7:18-29)

16 Then king David went in and sat in front of Yahweh, and asked, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my family, that you’ve brought me to this point? 17 This was such a small thing in your eyes, God, and you’ve spoken about the future of your servant’s family, and you’ve blessed me more than I deserve, Yahweh God. 18 What more can I, David, say to you about how you’ve honoured your servant? You certainly know me well. 19 Yahweh, you’ve done all these great things for the sake of your servant, and done just what you wanted in order to reveal your greatness. 20 Yahweh, there’s no one else like you, and no god except you, as we’ve all heard for ourselves. 21 There’s no other country like your people, Yisrael (Israel)—the only nation in the world where you, God, rescued the people in order to make them your own. That made you famous, and also feared, as you drove the people groups out ahead of your people who you ransomed out of Mitsrayim (Egypt). 22 You took your people, Yisrael, to be your people forever, and you, Yahweh, became our god.

23 “And now, Yahweh, may what you said about your servant and his family be confirmed forever, and come to pass just like you’ve said. 24 May your reputation be established and increase forever, as people say, ‘Commander-in-chief Yahweh, Yisrael’s god, is god over Yisrael.’ And your servant David’s family has been established as you’ve watched, 25 because you, God, have revealed to your servant that you’ll give me a dynasty. That’s why I’m brave enough to pray to you. 26 Yes, Yahweh, you are God and you’ve promised these good things to me, your servant. 27 And you’ve now decided to bless your servant’s family to be in front of you forever, because you, Yahweh, have blessed us, and so we’ll be blessed forever.

2 Sam 7:18–29

18 and King David went and sat in front of Yahweh and said, “Who am I, my master Yahweh, and how important is my family that you have brought me to this point? 19 But that was just minor to you, my master Yahweh. You also spoke about the distant future for my descendants. 20 What more can I, David say to you? But my master Yahweh, you yourself know your servant. 21 You’ve done all these incredible things in order to fulfil what you said and to fulfil your own desires, and then revealed them to your servant. 22 That’s why you’re incredible, Yahweh my god, and so there’s no one like you. There’s no god except you—that’s what we keep hearing about. 23 What other nation is like your people, Yisrael (Israel)—one nation on the earth that you went to redeem for yourself as a people—rescuing you from Mitsrayim (Egypt) and its gods? You made a reputation for yourself and did amazing and scary things for your nation in front of your people[ref] 24 You established us Israelis as your own people forever, and you yourself Yahweh became our God.

25 “And now, Yahweh God, the promise you made concerning your servant and his descendants, and do just as you have spoken and make it come true into the future. 26 May your reputation be good forever, with people saying, ‘Commander Yahweh is God over Yisrael,’ and the dynasty of your servant David will be established under you, 27 because you, Commander-in-chief Yahweh are Yisrael’s god. You have told your servant, ‘I will build a dynasty for you.’ That’s why your servant has found the courage to pray this prayer.

28 “So now, my master Yahweh, you are God, and you do what you say, and you have said these good things concerning your servant. 29 Now, if it pleases you, bless your servant’s extended family forever, because you yourself, my master Yahweh, have spoken, and from your blessing, your servant’s family will be blessed forever.”
