²⁷ For you, Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed this to your servant, telling him, ‘I will build a dynasty for you,’ so that your servant has found fortitude^[a] to pray this prayer to you.

²⁸ “Now therefore, Lord God, you are God, and your words are true, and you have spoken to your servant these good things. ²⁹ So may it please you to bless the household of your servant, so that it might remain forever in your presence, because you, Lord God, have spoken, and from your blessing may the household of your servant be blessed forever.”
