2 SAMUEL 7:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?”
'What other nation on earth is like your people, like Israel? Whom did God go and redeem as a people for himself, and to make for himself a name, and to do for them great and awesome deeds by driving out before your people nations and their gods?' — David's prayer encompasses Israel's history: redemption from Egypt, divine name-making, defeat of enemies. The covenantal history becomes the foundation for David's trust.
