16 At that King David came in and sat down before Jehovah and said: “Who am I, O Jehovah God? And what is my house that you have brought me this far?+ 17 As if this were not enough, O God, you also speak about the house of your servant down to a distant future time,+ and you have looked on me as if I were a man who should be further exalted,* O Jehovah God. 18 What more can your servant David say to you about the honor given me when you know your servant so well?+ 19 O Jehovah, for the sake of your servant and in agreement with your heart* you have done all these great things by revealing your greatness.+ 20 O Jehovah, there is no one like you,+ and there is no God except you;+ everything we have heard with our ears confirms this. 21 And what other nation on earth is like your people Israel?+ The true God went and redeemed them as his people.+ You made a name for yourself by your great and awe-inspiring deeds,+ driving out nations from before your people,+ whom you redeemed from Egypt. 22 You made your people Israel your own people for all time;+ and you, O Jehovah, became their God.+
