David shows all that is in his heart to the LORD God, and accepts the blessing God offers; by submitting and expressing appreciation to God, which is to establish his throne forever!

Then went King David in (to the tabernacle, where the Ark was kept?), and sat before the LORD, and he said, who am I, O Lord GOD (that God would take time out from running the universe to consider me)? And what is my house that thou hast brought me hitherto (or to this place of honor)?

And this was yet a small thing in thy sight (or not a difficult thing at all for you to do), O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come (eternity, in fact, is what the LORD God said!). And is this the manner of man (or is this what God have in store (or the final state) for man?), O Lord GOD?

And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD knows thy servant.

For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them (these great things).

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 (learned and,) heard with our ears.

And what one (or other?) 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 (or awesome things?), for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt (or the heathen world), (and) from the (other?) nations and their gods (or false gods and idols!)?

For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee forever: and thou, LORD, art become their God (forever?).

-2 Samuel 7:18 through 7:24
