2 Samuel 7:21–22

¹¹According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

¹NOT unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

²I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

¹PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

⁹Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

³²Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

⁵Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

¹⁴And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.

¹⁵Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the Lord your God promised you; so shall the Lord bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you.

⁵⁴He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

⁵⁵As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

⁷²To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

²¹¶ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

²⁶Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

³⁵Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

¹⁹God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

¹⁰For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

¹¹Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

⁸Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

²⁵For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

¹⁸Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

⁵¶ I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

²⁴O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

²There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

⁶For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?

⁸O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

³⁵Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him.

⁶Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

⁷Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

⁴For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

¹⁸¶ To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

¹GREAT is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

⁵For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

³Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

¹WE have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

²²Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

¹⁸For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.

⁵And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.

³⁹See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

²⁵To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

²And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the Lord.

³²Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

²²Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
