The prayer of David the king, who goes in and sits before the LORD

여호와 앞에 들어가 앉은 다윗왕의 기도

2 Samuel 7:18–29: then David the king goes in and sits before the LORD; and he says, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far? This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord GOD, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord GOD! What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord GOD. For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it. Therefore you are great, LORD God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. What one nation on the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods? You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became their God. Now, LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken. Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’ For you, LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you. Now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. Now therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord GOD, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.” The Korean Revised Version reads 인간의 규례대로 하셨나이다 at 7:19 where WEB has “and this among men, Lord GOD!”, and 저희를 위하여, for them, at 7:23 where WEB has “for you”; and at 7:26 it makes the words on the house of David David’s own request (주의 종 다윗의 집으로 주 앞에 견고하게 하옵소서), not part of what is to be said.

    18Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD; and he said, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?

    19This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord GOD, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord GOD!

    20What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord GOD.

    21For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

    22Therefore you are great, LORD God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

    23What one nation on the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

    24You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.

    25“Now, LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.

    26Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’

    27For you, LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

    28“Now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.

    29Now therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord GOD, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”
