4 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath accomplished in deed that which he spoke to David my father, saying:
5 From the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built in it to my name: neither chose I any other man, to be the ruler of my people Israel.
6 But I chose Jerusalem, that my name might be there: and I chose David to set him over my people Israel.
7 And whereas David my father had a mind to build a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel,
8 The Lord said to him: Forasmuch as it was thy will to build a house to my name, thou hast done well indeed in having such a will:
9 But thou shalt not build the house, but thy son, who shall come out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.
10 The Lord therefore hath accomplished his word which he spoke: and I am risen up in the place of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel.
