Confirm to your servant your promise, that you may be feared.
I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their own good and the good of their children after them. I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them. And I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me. I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul.
but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.
For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.
And now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken. And your name will be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel,’ and the house of your servant David will be established before you. For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. And now, O Lord God, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.”
But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children,
As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.
Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope.
