Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

David’s Prayer

¹⁶ Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far? ¹⁷ And this was a small thing in thy eyes, O God; thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast shown me future generations,^[a] O Lord God! ¹⁸ And what more can David say to thee for honoring thy servant? For thou knowest thy servant.
