23 and said,

Yahweh Elohim of Israel,
    there is no god like you in heaven above or on earth below.
You keep your promise[a] of mercy to your servants,
    who obey you wholeheartedly.
24 You have kept your promise to my father David, your servant.
    With your mouth you promised it.
    With your hand you carried it out as it is today.

25 “Now, Yahweh Elohim of Israel,
    keep your promise to my father David, your servant.
        You said, ‘You will never fail to have an heir
            sitting in front of me on the throne of Israel
                if your descendants are faithful to me
                    as you have been faithful to me.’
