2 Samuel 7:29

Therefore, now, let it please Thee to bless, rather, begin to bless, the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before Thee; having determined upon His course, the Lord is begged to set Himself to the fulfillment of His promise, to take it in hand speedily; for Thou, O Lord, hast spoken it, and with Thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed forever. David completes his prayer of thanksgiving by expressing his confident hope, his firm trust, that the word of the Lord will certainly come to pass. True faith clings to the promises of God and applies them to ourselves.
