2 Samuel 7:22
20 What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD.
21 For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed it to Your servant.
How great You are, O Lord GOD! For there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.
23 And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself and to make a name for Himself? You performed great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before Your people, whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt.
24 For You have established Your people Israel as Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
