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.

Nun, HERR, das Wort, das du geredet hast über deinen Knecht und über sein Haus, werde wahr ewiglich, und tue, wie du geredet hast.

Ahora, Jehová, que la palabra que has hablado acerca de tu siervo y de su casa se mantenga firme para siempre. Haz tal como has dicho.
Maintenant, ô Eternel! que la parole que tu as prononcée sur ton serviteur et sur sa maison subsiste éternellement, et agis selon ta parole!
Ora dunque, o Signore, sia la parola, che tu hai promessa al tuo servitore, ed alla sua casa, ferma in perpetuo; ed opera come tu hai parlato.
Agora, pois, SENHOR, a palavra que falaste de teu servo, e acerca da sua casa, confirma-a para sempre; e faze como falaste.
現在,耶和華啊,你所應許僕人和僕人家的話,求你堅定,直到永遠;求你照你所說的而行。
