And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
David first conceived the design of building a house worthy of the divine majesty and opened his mind to the prophet Nathan. God accepted David's good intentions but refused him the honor of building, leaving the edifice to be raised by his son Solomon. In this setting David acknowledges the Lord as God and trusts that He will fulfill the goodness He has promised to His servant.
