|
|
13. I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before you:
|
13. I H589 will be H1961 his father H1 , and he H1931 shall be H1961 my son H1121 : and I will not H3808 take my mercy away H5493 H2617 from H4480 H5973 him, as H834 I took H5493 it from him that H4480 H834 was H1961 before H6440 thee:

|
|
17. And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O God; for you have also spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
|
17. And yet this H2063 was a small thing H6994 in thine eyes H5869 , O God H430 ; for thou hast also spoken H1696 of H5921 thy servant H5650 's house H1004 for a great while to come H4480 H7350 , and hast regarded H7200 me according to the estate H8448 of a man H120 of high degree H4609 , O LORD H3068 God H430 .

|
18. What H4100 can David H1732 speak more H3254 H5750 to H413 thee for the honor H3519 of H853 thy servant H5650 ? for thou H859 knowest H3045 H853 thy servant H5650 .

|
22. For your people Israel did you make your own people for ever; and you, LORD, became their God.
|
22. For H853 thy people H5971 Israel H3478 didst thou make H5414 thine own people H5971 forever H5704 H5769 ; and thou H859 , LORD H3068 , becamest H1961 their God H430 .
|
|
23. Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as you have said.
|
23. Therefore now H6258 , LORD H3068 , let the thing H1697 that H834 thou hast spoken H1696 concerning H5921 thy servant H5650 and concerning H5921 his house H1004 be established H539 forever H5704 H5769 , and do H6213 as H834 thou hast said H1696 .

|
|
25. For you, O my God, have told your servant that you will build him an house: therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray before you.
|
25. For H3588 thou H859 , O my God H430 , hast told H1540 H853 H241 thy servant H5650 that thou wilt build H1129 him a house H1004 : therefore H5921 H3651 thy servant H5650 hath found H4672 in his heart to pray H6419 before H6440 thee.

|
26. And now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this goodness to your servant:
|
26. And now H6258 , LORD H3068 , thou H859 art God H430 , and hast promised H1696 this H2063 goodness H2896 unto H5921 thy servant H5650 :
