1So, the king was chillin' at his crib, and the Lord gave him mad peace from all his haters;

2The king told Nathan the prophet, "Yo, I’m livin' in a dope cedar house, but God’s ark is just chillin' in some curtains."

3Nathan was like, "Bet, do whatever you feel, 'cause the Lord’s got your back."

4That night, the Lord slid into Nathan’s DMs, saying,

5"Go tell my dude David, the Lord is saying, 'You tryna build me a crib?'"

6"I haven’t lived in a house since I brought the Israelites outta Egypt, just vibin' in a tent and a tabernacle."

7"Everywhere I’ve walked with the Israelites, did I ever hit up any of the tribes I told to look after my peeps, saying, 'Why don’t you build me a cedar house?'"

8"So, tell my dude David, the Lord of hosts says, 'I pulled you from the sheep, to be the boss of my people, Israel.'"

9"I was with you wherever you rolled, took out all your enemies, and made your name lit, like the greats on the earth."

10"Plus, I’m gonna set up a spot for my people Israel, plant them good so they can chill in their own place, and no more will the wicked mess with them like before."

11Since I told the judges to handle my peeps in Israel, I got you chillin' from your enemies. God’s saying He’s gonna hook you up with a house, for real.

12When your time's up and you catch some Z’s with your fam, I’ll set up your kid to carry on your legacy, and I’ll legit build his kingdom.

13He’s gonna build a house for my name, and I’ll make his kingdom's throne goated forever.

14I’ll be his dad, and he’ll be my son. If he messes up, I’ll keep him in check, no cap, but still show him love.

15My mercy ain’t going anywhere with him, unlike Saul who got benched.

16Your house and kingdom will be locked in forever, your throne’s got that everlasting vibe.

17Nathan dropped all these words and visions to David, no cap.

18Then King David rolled in and sat with God, like, “Who am I, Lord? What’s my house that you brought me this far?”

19And this was just a light flex for you, Lord; you’ve been talking about my fam’s house for ages. Is this how you roll, Lord?

20What more can David even say to you? You know me, Lord, you know your servant, periodt.

21For real, you did all this epic stuff just to flex your word and let your homie know.

22Yo, you’re the GOAT, Lord God, no one compares to you, we’ve heard the vibes.

23What other squad on Earth is like your peeps, Israel? You saved them to be your own, doing wild things for them, no cap.

24You locked in your crew, Israel, forever, and you, Lord, are their God, periodt.

25So now, Lord God, keep it 100 with the promise you made about your servant and his fam, make it last forever.

26Let your name be mega lit forever, saying, the Lord of hosts is the God over Israel, and let David's crew be solid with you.

27You, Lord of hosts, God of Israel, told your servant you’d build him a crib, so he’s got the rizz to pray this prayer to you.

28And now, Lord God, you’re that God, your words are straight facts, and you promised this goodness to your servant.

29So please bless your servant's house, keep it going forever, 'cause you said it, and with your blessing, let it be blessed for eternity.

1And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;

2That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.

3And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.

4And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,

5Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?

6Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.

7In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?

8Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

9And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.

10Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

11And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

12And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

13He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

14I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

15But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

16And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

17According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

18Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

19And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?

20And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.

21For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.

22Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23And 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?

24For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.

25And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

26And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

27For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

28And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

29Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
