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

Verse 24 is found in chapter 7 of 2 Samuel. David enters and sits before the Lord to respond to the promise he has received. His prayer begins with humility: he recognizes that his own house does not deserve such treatment and recalls Israel’s uniqueness among the nations. David does not interpret his election as personal merit, but as an act of God. The prayer turns the dynastic promise into worship and recognition of the particular identity God has given his people.

Und du hast dir dein Volk Israel zubereitet, dir zum Volk in Ewigkeit; und du, HERR, bist ihr Gott geworden.
Porque tú te has confirmado a tu pueblo Israel por pueblo tuyo para siempre: y tú, oh Jehová, fuiste a ellos por Dios.
Estableciste a tu pueblo Israel como pueblo tuyo para siempre, y tú, Jehová, llegaste a ser su Dios.
Tu as affermi ton peuple d'Israël, pour qu'il fût ton peuple à toujours; et toi, Eternel, tu es devenu son Dieu.
E ti hai stabilito il tuo popolo Israele per tuo popolo in perpetuo; e tu, Signore, sei stato loro Dio.
E confirmaste a teu povo Israel por teu povo para sempre, e tu, SENHOR, te fizeste o seu Deus.
你曾堅立你的百姓 以色列 作你的子民,直到永遠;你-耶和華也作他們的上帝。
