³⁸ Give effect to your word to your servant, in whose heart is the fear of you.

³⁹ And I will give them one heart and one way, so that they may go on in the worship of me for ever, for their good and the good of their children after them:

⁴⁰ And I will make an eternal agreement with them, that I will never give them up, but ever do them good; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they will not go away from me.

⁴¹ And truly, I will take pleasure in doing them good, and all my heart and soul will be given to planting them in this land in good faith.

²⁵ And now, O Lord God, may the word which you have said about your servant and about his family, be made certain for ever, and may you do as you have said!

²⁶ And let your name be made great for ever, and let men say, The Lord of armies is God over Israel: and let the family of David your servant be made strong before you!

²⁷ For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.

²⁸ And now, O Lord God, you are God and your words are true and you have said you will give your servant this good thing;

²⁹ So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it,) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!

¹¹ For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.

¹³ As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.

¹⁷ But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;

⁴⁹ <ZAIN> Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.

¹⁹ To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.

¹¹ The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.

²⁰ For he is the Yes to all the undertakings of God: and by him all the words of God are made certain and put into effect, to the glory of God through us.
