26 Que sea engrandecido tu nombre para siempre, y dígase: Jehová de los ejércitos es Dios sobre Israel; y que la casa de tu siervo David sea firme delante de ti.
27 Porque tú, Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, revelaste al oído de tu siervo, diciendo: Yo te edificaré casa. Por esto tu siervo ha hallado en su corazón para hacer delante de ti esta súplica.
28 Ahora pues, Jehová Dios, tú eres Dios, y tus palabras serán firmes, ya que has dicho á tu siervo este bien.
29 Tenlo pues ahora á bien, y bendice la casa de tu siervo, para que perpetuamente permanezca delante de ti: pues que tú, Jehová Dios, lo has dicho, y con tu bendición será bendita la casa de tu siervo para siempre.
