David’s Prayer of Thanksgiving

16

And Dauid the King went in and sate before the Lord and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

17

Yet thou esteeming this a small thing, O God, hast also spoken concerning the house of thy seruaut for a great while, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of hie degree, O Lord God.

18

What can Dauid desire more of thee for the honour of thy seruant? for thou knowest thy seruant.

19

O Lord, for thy seruantes sake, euen according to thine heart hast thou done all this great thing to declare all magnificence.

20

Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we haue heard with our eares.

21

Moreouer what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whose God went to redeeme them to be his people, and to make thy selfe a Name, and to doe great and terrible things by casting out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast deliuered out of Egypt?

22

For thou hast ordeined thy people Israel to be thine owne people for euer, and thou Lord art become their God.

23

Therefore nowe Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and concerning his house, be confirmed for euer, and doe as thou hast sayd,

24

And let thy name be stable and magnified for euer, that it may be sayd, The Lord of hostes, God of Israel, is the God of Israel, and let the house of Dauid thy seruant bee stablished before thee.

25

For thou, O my God, hast reueiled vnto the eare of thy seruant, that thou wilt builde him an house: therefore thy seruant hath bene bolde to pray before thee.

26

Therefore nowe Lord (for thou art God, and hast spoken this goodnesse vnto thy seruant)

27

Now therfore, it hath pleased thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may bee before thee for euer: for thou, O Lord, hast blessed it, and it shalbe blessed for euer.
