2 Samuel 7:18-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

David’s Prayer

¹⁸ Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far? ¹⁹ And yet this was a small thing in thy eyes, O Lord God; thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast shown me future generations,^[a] O Lord God! ²⁰ And what more can David say to thee? For thou knowest thy servant, O Lord God!
