20O Lord, there is no one like you, and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.
21And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, making his name great and to be feared, driving out the nations from before your people whom you made free and took out of Egypt?
22For your people Israel you made yours for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.
23And now, Lord, let your words about your servant and about his family be made certain for ever, and do as you have said.
24So let your words be made certain and your name be made great, when men say, The Lord of armies is the God of Israel; and when the family of David your servant is made strong before you.
25For you, O my God, have let your servant see that you will make him head of a line of kings; and so it has come into your servant's heart to make his prayer to you.
26And now, O Lord, you are God, and you have said you will give this good thing to your servant:
