1599 Geneva Bible
26 And let thy Name be magnified forever by them that shall say, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel, and let the [a]house of thy servant David be established before thee.
27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed unto thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant [b]been bold to pray this prayer unto thee.
28 Therefore now, O Lord God, (for thou art God, and thy words be true, and thou hast told this goodness unto thy servant.)
