1 Chronicles 17:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou shouldst give such things to me?

¹⁷ But even this hath seemed little in thy sight, and therefore thou hast also spoken concerning the house of thy servant for the time to come: and hast made me remarkable above all men, O Lord God.

¹⁸ What can David add more, seeing thou hast thus glorified thy servant, and known him?
