2 Samuel 7:28

Context
7:28 Now, O sovereign Lord, you are the true God! 1  May your words prove to be true! 2  You have made this good promise to your servant! 3 

1 tn Heb “the God.” The article indicates uniqueness here.

2 tn The translation understands the prefixed verb form as a jussive, indicating David’s wish/prayer. Another option is to take the form as an imperfect and translate “your words are true.”

3 tn Heb “and you have spoken to your servant this good thing.”
