Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:
“Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And as if this were not enough in your sight, O God, you have spoken about the future of the house of your servant. You have looked on me as though I were the most exalted of men, O Lord God.
. . .
“There is no one like you, O Lord, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. And who is like your people Israel–the one nation on earth whose God went out to redeem a people for himself, and to make a name for yourself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? You made your people Israel your very own forever, and you, O Lord, have become their God.”
1Chronicles 17:16-17; 20-22 (NIV)
