18What more can David still say to You concerning the honor bestowed on Your servant? For You know Your servant.
19Lord, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

Chapter 17
13I 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 thee: 14But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore. 15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 16And David the king came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 17And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Lord God. 18What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant. 19O Lord, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.Christian Standard Bible
