The use of "LORD" in all capitals signifies the Hebrew name Yahweh, emphasizing God's eternal and unchanging nature. This invocation sets the tone for a prayerful and reverent address to God, recognizing His authority and holiness.<p><b>For the sake of Your servant</b><br>"Your servant" refers to David, the king of Israel, who is often depicted as a model of servanthood to God. This phrase highlights the covenant relationship between God and David, where David is seen as God's chosen servant. It reflects the biblical theme of God working through His chosen individuals to fulfill His purposes, as seen in the lives of other biblical figures like Moses and the prophets.<p><b>and according to Your own heart</b><br>This phrase underscores the idea that God's actions are motivated by His own will and character, not by human merit. It reflects the biblical teaching that God's plans are rooted in His perfect wisdom and love. The concept of God's heart is significant in Scripture, indicating His desires and intentions, as seen in passages like <a href="/1_samuel/13-14.htm">1 Samuel 13:14</a>, where David is described as a man after God's own heart.<p><b>You have accomplished this great thing</b><br>The "great thing" refers to God's promise to establish David's dynasty, which is a pivotal moment in biblical history. This promise is part of the Davidic Covenant, where God assures David that his lineage will endure forever, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the Messiah. This accomplishment is a testament to God's faithfulness and power, as He brings His promises to fruition.<p><b>and made known all these great promises.</b><br>The "great promises" include the assurance of a lasting dynasty for David and the coming of a future king, the Messiah. These promises are central to the biblical narrative, pointing to the hope of redemption and the establishment of God's kingdom. The fulfillment of these promises is seen in the New Testament, where Jesus is recognized as the descendant of David and the fulfillment of God's covenant. This phrase emphasizes God's revelation of His plans to His people, demonstrating His desire for them to understand His purposes and trust in His faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The King of Israel, chosen by God, who desires to build a temple for the Lord.
