2 Samuel 7:24 — Meaning and Application

Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for {there is} none like thee, neither {is there any} God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

And what one nation in the earth {is} like thy people, {even} like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, {from} the nations and their gods?

For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel {to be} a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.

And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish {it} for ever, and do as thou hast said.

And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts {is} the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
