1 Chronicles 17:21-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 17
21And what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for You a name by great and awesome things, by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt? 22For You have made Your people Israel Your own people forever, and You, Lord, became their God.
23Now, Lord, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house be established forever, and do just as You have spoken.
24Let Your name be established and be great forever, saying, ‘The Lord of armies is the God of Israel, a God to Israel; and the house of Your servant David is established before You.’
25For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house; therefore Your servant has found courage to pray before You.
26Now, Lord, You are God, and have promised this good thing to Your servant.
27And now You have decided to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You; for You, Lord, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.'
King James Version
Chapter 17
21And 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? 22For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Lord, becamest their God. 23Therefore 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. 24Let 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. 25For 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. 26And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: 27Now 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.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 17
21And who is like your people Israel? God, you came to one nation on earth to redeem a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself through great and awesome works by driving out nations before your people you redeemed from Egypt. 22You made your people Israel your own people forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
23Now, Lord, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and his house be confirmed forever, and do as you have promised.
24Let your name be confirmed and magnified forever in the saying, "The Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, is God over Israel." May the house of your servant David be established before you.
25Since you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house, your servant has found courage to pray in your presence.
26Lord, you indeed are God, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
27So now, you have been pleased to bless your servant’s house that it may continue before you forever. For you, Lord, have blessed it, and it is blessed forever.
New Living Translation
Chapter 17
21What other nation on earth is like your people Israel? What other nation, O God, have you redeemed from slavery to be your own people? You made a great name for yourself when you redeemed your people from Egypt. You performed awesome miracles and drove out the nations that stood in their way. 22You chose Israel to be your very own people forever, and you, O Lord, became their God.
23'And now, O Lord, I am your servant; do as you have promised concerning me and my family. May it be a promise that will last forever.
24And may your name be established and honored forever so that everyone will say, ‘The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God!’ And may the house of your servant David continue before you forever.
25'O my God, I have been bold enough to pray to you because you have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him — a dynasty of kings!
26For you are God, O Lord. And you have promised these good things to your servant.
27And now, it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, so that it will continue forever before you. For when you grant a blessing, O Lord, it is an eternal blessing!'
