2 Samuel 7:27-29

Contemporary English Version

²⁷ After all, you really are Israel's God, the Lord All-Powerful. You've told me that you will let my descendants be kings. That's why I have the courage to pray to you like this, even though I am only your servant.

²⁸ Lord All-Powerful, you are God. You have promised me some very good things, and you can be trusted to do what you promise. ²⁹ Please bless my descendants and let them always be your chosen kings. You have already promised, and I'm sure that you will bless my family forever.
