2 Samuel 7:27 — Meaning and Application

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.

For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. {revealed: Heb. opened the ear}

And now, O Lord GOD, thou {art} that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken {it}: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. {let it...: Heb. be thou pleased and bless}
