2 Samuel 7 18-2 Samuel 7 29
Then King David went in, sat in the LORD’s presence, and said, Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house that you have brought me this far?What you have done so far was a little thing to you, Lord GOD, for you have also spoken about your servant’s house in the distant future. And this is a revelation for mankind, Lord GOD.What more can David say to you? You know your servant, Lord GOD.Because of your word and according to your will, you have revealed all these great things to your servant.This is why you are great, Lord GOD. There is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, as all we have heard confirms.And who is like your people Israel? God came to one nation on earth in order to redeem a people for himself, to make a name for himself, and to perform for them great and awesome acts, driving out nations and their gods before your people you redeemed for yourself from Egypt.You established your people Israel to be your own people forever, and you, LORD, have become their God.Now, LORD God, fulfill the promise forever that you have made to your servant and his house. Do as you have promised,so that your name will be exalted forever, when it is said,“ The LORD of Armies is God over Israel.” The house of your servant David will be established before yousince you, LORD of Armies, God of Israel, have revealed this to your servant when you said,“ I will build a house for you.” Therefore, your servant has found the courage to pray this prayer to you.Lord GOD, you are God; your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.Now, please bless your servant’s house so that it will continue before you forever. For you, Lord GOD, have spoken, and with your blessing your servant’s house will be blessed forever.

2 Kings 19 15-2 Kings 19 19
Then Hezekiah prayed before the LORD: LORD God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you are God— you alone— of all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.Listen closely, LORD, and hear; open your eyes, LORD, and see. Hear the words that Sennacherib has sent to mock the living God.LORD, it is true that the kings of Assyria have devastated the nations and their lands.They have thrown their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but made by human hands— wood and stone. So they have destroyed them.Now, LORD our God, please save us from his power so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, LORD, are God— you alone.

2 Chronicles 20 6-2 Chronicles 20 12
He said: LORD, God of our ancestors, are you not the God who is in heaven, and do you not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, and no one can stand against you.Are you not our God who drove out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and who gave it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?They have lived in the land and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name and have said,“ If disaster comes on us— sword or judgment, pestilence or famine— we will stand before this temple and before you, for your name is in this temple. We will cry out to you because of our distress, and you will hear and deliver.”Now here are the Ammonites, Moabites, and the inhabitants of Mount Seir. You did not let Israel invade them when Israel came out of the land of Egypt, but Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.Look how they repay us by coming to drive us out of your possession that you gave us as an inheritance.Our God, will you not judge them? For we are powerless before this vast number that comes to fight against us. We do not know what to do, but we look to you.

Daniel 9:3-4
So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek him by prayer and petitions, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: Ah, Lord— the great and awe-inspiring God who keeps his gracious covenant with those who love him and keep his commands—
