2 Samuel 7:27-29

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁷ For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house’; therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.^{(A) 28} And now, O Lord God, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant;^{(B) 29} now, therefore, may it please you to bless the house of your servant so that it may continue forever before you, for you, O Lord God, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.”^(C)
