2 Samuel 7:16-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
16Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.'?’?' 17In accordance with all these words and all of this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
18Then David the king came in and sat before the Lord, and he said, 'Who am I, Lord God, and who are the members of my household, that You have brought me this far?
19And yet this was insignificant in Your eyes, Lord God, for You have spoken also of the house of Your servant regarding the distant future. And this is the custom of mankind, Lord God.
20Again what more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, Lord God!
21For the sake of Your word, and according to Your heart, You have done all this greatness, to let Your servant know.
22For this reason You are great, Lord God; for there is no one like You, and there is no God except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
King James Version
Chapter 7
16And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. 17According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18Then 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?
19And 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?
20And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.
21For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
22Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Christian Standard Bible
18Then King David went in, sat in the Lord's presence, and said,Who am I, Lord God, and what is my house that you have brought me this far?
19What you have done so far was a little thing to you, Lord God, for you have also spoken about your servant's house in the distant future. And this is a revelation for mankind, Lord God.
20What more can David say to you? You know your servant, Lord God.
21Because of your word and according to your will, you have revealed all these great things to your servant.
New Living Translation
18Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and prayed, 'Who am I, O Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?
19And now, Sovereign Lord, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving your servant a lasting dynasty! Do you deal with everyone this way, O Sovereign Lord?

Chapter 7
16And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever.’” 17In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
18Then King David went in and sat before the LORD and said, “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
19And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord GOD. You have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord GOD!
20And what more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord GOD!
21Because of your promise, and according to your own heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
22Therefore you are great, O LORD God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
