2 Samuel 7:18-20

New International Reader's Version

David’s Prayer to the Lord

¹⁸ Then King David went into the holy tent. He sat down in front of the Lord. He said,

“Lord and King, who am I? My family isn’t important. So why have you brought me this far? ¹⁹ I would have thought that you had already done more than enough for me. But now, Lord and King, you have also said what will happen to my royal house in days to come. And, my Lord and King, this promise is for a mere human being!

²⁰ “What more can I say to you? Lord and King, you know all about me.
