1 Chronicles 17
²⁵ For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build for him a house; therefore Your servant has found courage to pray before You.
²⁶ Now, O Lord, You are God, and have promised this good thing to Your servant.
²⁷ And now it has pleased You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You; for You, O Lord, have blessed, and it is blessed forever."
