Lexham English Bible
23 Who is like your people, like Israel? Israel is the one nation on earth whose God led them,[a] in order to redeem a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to do for you[b] the great and awesome things for your land in the presence of your people whom he redeemed for himself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods. 24 You have established your people Israel for yourself as a people forever, and you, O Yahweh, have become their God. 25 So then, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do just as you have promised.
