1 Chronicles 17:16-18

New International Reader's Version

David’s Prayer

¹⁶ Then King David went into the holy tent. He sat down in front of the Lord. He said,

“Lord God, who am I? My family isn’t important. So why have you brought me this far? ¹⁷ I would have thought that you had already done more than enough for me. But now, my God, you have spoken about my royal house. You have said what will happen to it in days to come. Lord God, you have treated me as if I were the most honored man of all.

¹⁸ “What more can I say to you for honoring me? You know all about me.
