And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

Verse 21 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Chronicles. David responds to the promise with a prayer of humility and gratitude. He recognizes that God has chosen Israel and that no human greatness explains his position. Instead of trying to claim the promise for himself, David asks God to confirm his word. The prayer shows an appropriate response to grace: receive, give thanks, and trust.

Und wo ist ein Volk auf Erden wie dein Volk Israel, um welches willen Gott hingegangen ist, sich ein Volk zu erlösen und sich selbst einen Namen zu machen von großen und schrecklichen Dingen, Heiden auszustoßen vor deinem Volk her, das du aus Ägypten erlöst hast.
¿Y qué gente hay en la tierra como tu pueblo Israel, cuyo Dios fuese y se redimiera un pueblo, para hacerte nombre con grandezas y maravillas, echando las gentes de delante de tu pueblo, que tú rescataste de Egipto?
Est-il sur la terre une seule nation qui soit comme ton peuple d'Israël, que Dieu est venu racheter pour en former son peuple, pour te faire un nom et pour accomplir des miracles et des prodiges, en chassant des nations devant ton peuple que tu as racheté d'Egypte?
E quale è l’unica gente in terra pari al tuo popolo Israele? per lo quale Iddio è andato, per riscattarselo per suo popolo; per acquistarti, o Dio, fama di cose grandi e tremende, scacciando le nazioni d’innanzi al tuo popolo, che tu hai riscosso di Egitto.
E quem há como o teu povo Israel, única gente na terra, a quem Deus foi resgatar para seu povo, fazendo-te nome com coisas grandes e temerosas, lançando as nações de diante do teu povo, que resgataste do Egito?
世上有何國能比你的百姓 以色列 呢?上帝親自去救贖世上的一國 ,作自己的子民,又行大而可畏的事,顯出你的大名,在你從 埃及 贖出來的子民面前驅逐了列國。
