Now it came to pass, as DavidH1732 satH3427 in his houseH1004, that DavidH1732 saidH559 to NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, Lo, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarsH730, but the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 remaineth under curtainsH3407.
Then NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, DoH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for GodH430 is with thee.
And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of GodH430 came to NathanH5416, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH559 DavidH1732 my servantH5650, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Thou shalt not buildH1129 me an houseH1004 to dwell inH3427:
For I have not dwelt inH3427 an houseH1004 since the dayH3117 that I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117; but have gone from tentH168 to tentH168, and from one tabernacleH4908 to another. {have gone: Heb. have been}
Wheresoever I have walkedH1980 with all IsraelH3478, spakeH1696 I a wordH1697 to anyH259 of the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, Why have ye not builtH1129 me an houseH1004 of cedarsH730?
Now therefore thus shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcoteH5116, even from followingH310 the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: {from following: Heb. from after}
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walkedH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 thee, and have madeH6213 thee a nameH8034 like the nameH8034 of the great menH1419 that are in the earthH776.
Also I will ordainH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in their place, and shall be movedH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 wasteH1086 them any moreH3254, as at the beginningH7223,
And since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. Moreover I will subdueH3665 all thine enemiesH341. Furthermore I tellH5046 thee that the LORDH3068 will buildH1129 thee an houseH1004.
And it shall come to pass, when thy daysH3117 be expiredH4390 that thou must goH3212 to be with thy fathersH1, that I will raise upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall be of thy sonsH1121; and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438.
He shall buildH1129 me an houseH1004, and I will stablishH3559 his throneH3678 forH5704 everH5769.
I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121: and I will not takeH5493 my mercyH2617 awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from him that was beforeH6440 thee:
But I will settleH5975 him in mine houseH1004 and in my kingdomH4438 for everH5769: and his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2377, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 unto DavidH1732.
And DavidH1732 the kingH4428 cameH935 and satH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, Who am I, O LORDH3068 GodH430, and what is mine houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me hithertoH1988?
And yet this was a small thingH6994 in thine eyesH5869, O GodH430; for thou hast also spokenH1696 of thy servant'sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to comeH7350, and hast regardedH7200 me according to the estateH8448 of a manH120 of high degreeH4609, O LORDH3068 GodH430.
What canH3254 DavidH1732 speak moreH3254 to thee for the honourH3519 of thy servantH5650? for thou knowestH3045 thy servantH5650.
O LORDH3068, for thy servant'sH5650 sake, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou doneH6213 all this greatnessH1420, in making knownH3045 all these great thingsH1420. {great…: Heb. greatnesses}
O LORDH3068, there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besideH2108 thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241.
And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 to be his own peopleH5971, to makeH7760 thee a nameH8034 of greatnessH1420 and terriblenessH3372, by driving outH1644 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, whom thou hast redeemedH6299 out of EgyptH4714?
For thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 didst thou makeH5414 thine own peopleH5971 forH5704 everH5769; and thou, LORDH3068, becamest their GodH430.
Therefore now, LORDH3068, let the thingH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650 and concerning his houseH1004 be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769, and doH6213 as thou hast saidH1696.
Let it even be establishedH539, that thy nameH8034 may be magnifiedH1431 forH5704 everH5769, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, even a GodH430 to IsraelH3478: and let the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650 be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee.
For thou, O my GodH430, hast toldH1540+H241 thy servantH5650 that thou wilt buildH1129 him an houseH1004: therefore thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672 in his heart to prayH6419 beforeH6440 thee. {hast…: Heb. hast revealed the ear of thy servant}
And now, LORDH3068, thou art GodH430, and hast promisedH1696 this goodnessH2896 unto thy servantH5650:
Now therefore let it pleaseH2974 thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may be beforeH6440 thee for everH5769: for thou blessestH1288, O LORDH3068, and it shall be blessedH1288 for everH5769. {let…: or, it hath pleased thee}

For what nationH1471 is there so greatH1419, who hath GodH430 so nighH7138 unto them, as the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is in all things that we callH7121 upon him for?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I have surelyH7200 seenH7200 the afflictionH6040 of my peopleH5971 which are in EgyptH4714, and have heardH8085 their cryH6818 by reasonH6440 of their taskmastersH5065; for I knowH3045 their sorrowsH4341;
And shewedstH5414 signsH226 and wondersH4159 upon PharaohH6547, and on all his servantsH5650, and on all the peopleH5971 of his landH776: for thou knewestH3045 that they dealt proudlyH2102 against them. So didst thou getH6213 thee a nameH8034, as it is this dayH3117.
Or hath GodH430 assayedH5254 to goH935 and takeH3947 him a nationH1471 from the midstH7130 of another nationH1471, by temptationsH4531, by signsH226, and by wondersH4159, and by warH4421, and by a mightyH2389 handH3027, and by a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and by greatH1419 terrorsH4172, according to all that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 for you in EgyptH4714 before your eyesH5869?
When the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall bringH935 thee into the landH776 whither thou goestH935 to possessH3423 it, and hath cast outH5394 manyH7227 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 thee, the HittitesH2850, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, sevenH7651 nationsH1471 greaterH7227 and mightierH6099 than thou;
For askH7592 now of the daysH3117 that are pastH7223, which wereH1961 beforeH6440 thee, since the dayH3117 that GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 upon the earthH776, and ask from the one sideH7097 of heavenH8064 unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this greatH1419 thingH1697 is, or hath been heardH8085 like it?
Did ever peopleH5971 hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of GodH430 speaking outH1696 of the midstH8432 of the fireH784, as thou hast heardH8085, and liveH2421?
Or hath GodH430 assayedH5254 to goH935 and takeH3947 him a nationH1471 from the midstH7130 of another nationH1471, by temptationsH4531, by signsH226, and by wondersH4159, and by warH4421, and by a mightyH2389 handH3027, and by a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and by greatH1419 terrorsH4172, according to all that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 for you in EgyptH4714 before your eyesH5869?
And I am come downH3381 to deliverH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and to bringH5927 them up out of that landH776 unto a goodH2896 landH776 and a largeH7342, unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; unto the placeH4725 of the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983.
For my name'sH8034 sake will I deferH748 mine angerH639, and for my praiseH8416 will I refrainH2413 for thee, that I cut thee not offH3772.
By terrible thingsH3372 in righteousnessH6664 wilt thou answerH6030 us, O GodH430 of our salvationH3468; who art the confidenceH4009 of all the endsH7099 of the earthH776, and of them that are afar offH7350 upon the seaH3220:
And when the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall deliverH5414 them beforeH6440 thee; thou shalt smiteH5221 them, and utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them; thou shalt makeH3772 no covenantH1285 with them, nor shew mercyH2603 unto them:
There is none like unto the GodH410 of JeshurunH3484, who ridethH7392 upon the heavenH8064 in thy helpH5828, and in his excellencyH1346 on the skyH7834.
The eternalH6924 GodH430 is thy refugeH4585, and underneath are the everlastingH5769 armsH2220: and he shall thrust outH1644 the enemyH341 from beforeH6440 thee; and shall sayH559, DestroyH8045 them.
IsraelH3478 then shall dwellH7931 in safetyH983 aloneH910: the fountainH5869 of JacobH3290 shall be upon a landH776 of cornH1715 and wineH8492; also his heavensH8064 shall drop downH6201 dewH2919.
HappyH835 art thou, O IsraelH3478: who is like unto thee, O peopleH5971 savedH3467 by the LORDH3068, the shieldH4043 of thy helpH5828, and who is the swordH2719 of thy excellencyH1346! and thine enemiesH341 shall be found liarsH3584 unto thee; and thou shalt treadH1869 upon their high placesH1116. {found…: or, subdued}
Ye have seenH7200 what I didH6213 unto the EgyptiansH4714, and how I bareH5375 you on eagles'H5404 wingsH3671, and broughtH935 you unto myself.
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
That ledH3212 them by the right handH3225 of MosesH4872 with his gloriousH8597 armH2220, dividingH1234 the waterH4325 beforeH6440 them, to makeH6213 himself an everlastingH5769 nameH8034?
SayH559 unto GodH430, How terribleH3372 art thou in thy worksH4639! through the greatnessH7230 of thy powerH5797 shall thine enemiesH341 submitH3584 themselves unto thee. {submit…: or, yield feigned obedience: Heb. lie}
All the earthH776 shall worshipH7812 thee, and shall singH2167 unto thee; they shall singH2167 to thy nameH8034. SelahH5542.
ComeH3212 and seeH7200 the worksH4659 of GodH430: he is terribleH3372 in his doingH5949 toward the childrenH1121 of menH120.
He turnedH2015 the seaH3220 into dryH3004 land: they wentH5674 through the floodH5104 on footH7272: there did we rejoiceH8055 in him.
He rulethH4910 by his powerH1369 for everH5769; his eyesH5869 beholdH6822 the nationsH1471: let not the rebelliousH5637 exaltH7311+H7311 themselves. SelahH5542.
And all these kingsH4428 and their landH776 did JoshuaH3091 takeH3920 at oneH259 timeH6471, because the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 foughtH3898 for IsraelH3478.
He hath not dealtH6213 so with any nationH1471: and as for his judgmentsH4941, they have not knownH3045 them. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
And thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a bondmanH5650 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 redeemedH6299 thee: therefore I commandH6680 thee this thingH1697 to dayH3117.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, amongH8432 whom they were, in whose sightH5869 I made myself knownH3045 unto them, in bringing them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
The seaH3220 sawH7200 it, and fledH5127: JordanH3383 was drivenH5437 backH268.
The mountainsH2022 skippedH7540 like ramsH352, and the little hillsH1389 like lambsH1121+H6629.
What ailed thee, O thou seaH3220, that thou fleddestH5127? thou JordanH3383, that thou wast drivenH5437 backH268?
Ye mountainsH2022, that ye skippedH7540 like ramsH352; and ye little hillsH1389, like lambsH1121+H6629?
TrembleH2342, thou earthH776, at the presenceH6440 of the LordH113, at the presenceH6440 of the GodH433 of JacobH3290;
Which turnedH2015 the rockH6697 into a standingH98 waterH4325, the flintH2496 into a fountainH4599 of watersH4325.
And the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 unto IsraelH3478 all the landH776 which he swareH7650 to giveH5414 unto their fathersH1; and they possessedH3423 it, and dweltH3427 therein.
And the LORDH3068 gave them restH5117 round aboutH5439, according to all that he swareH7650 unto their fathersH1: and there stoodH5975 not a manH376 of all their enemiesH341 beforeH6440 them; the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 all their enemiesH341 into their handH3027.
There failedH5307 not oughtH1697 of any goodH2896 thingH1697 which the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; all came to passH935.
Thou hast with thine armH2220 redeemedH1350 thy peopleH5971, the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 and JosephH3130. SelahH5542.
Wherefore I caused them to go forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 them into the wildernessH4057.
When thou didstH6213 terrible thingsH3372 which we lookedH6960 not for, thou camest downH3381, the mountainsH2022 flowed downH2151 at thy presenceH6440.
And ye went overH5674 JordanH3383, and cameH935 unto JerichoH3405: and the menH1167 of JerichoH3405 foughtH3898 against you, the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the GirgashitesH1622, the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983; and I deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027.
Let the redeemedH1350 of the LORDH3068 sayH559 so, whom he hath redeemedH1350 from the handH3027 of the enemyH6862;
And I sentH7971 the hornetH6880 beforeH6440 you, which drave them outH1644 from beforeH6440 you, even the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567; but not with thy swordH2719, nor with thy bowH7198.
He sentH7971 redemptionH6304 unto his peopleH5971: he hath commandedH6680 his covenantH1285 for everH5769: holyH6918 and reverendH3372 is his nameH8034.
How thou didst drive outH3423 the heathenH1471 with thy handH3027, and plantedstH5193 them; how thou didst afflictH7489 the peopleH3816, and cast them outH7971.
In all their afflictionH6869 he was afflictedH6862, and the angelH4397 of his presenceH6440 savedH3467 them: in his loveH160 and in his pityH2551 he redeemedH1350 them; and he bareH5190 them, and carriedH5375 them all the daysH3117 of oldH5769.
