What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
The verse belongs to the account where David first conceived the design of building a house worthy of the divine majesty and opened his mind to the prophet Nathan, and where God accepted David's good intentions but refused him the honor of building. It falls within the account of David's prosperous reign. It is David's humble response to the honor and favor God has shown him as His servant, acknowledging that he has no further words to add and no further request to make or ask. This silence comes because God already knows him and his servant's heart, and that divine knowledge is the reason he cannot add anything to his words of gratitude.
