1 A kad car seđaše kod kuće svoje, i Gospod mu dade mir svuda unaokolo od svih neprijatelja njegovih, 2 reče car Natanu proroku: Vidi, ja stojim u kući od kedrova drveta, a kovčeg Božji stoji pod zavesima. 3 A Natan reče caru: Šta ti je god u srcu, idi, čini, jer je Gospod s tobom. 4 Ali onu noć dođe reč Gospodnja k Natanu govoreći: 5 Idi i reci sluzi mom Davidu: Ovako veli Gospod: Ti li ćeš mi načiniti kuću da u njoj nastavam? 6 Kad nisam nastavao u kući od kad izvedoh sinove Izrailjeve iz Misira do danas, nego sam hodio u šatoru i u naslonu. 7 Kuda sam god hodio sa svim sinovima Izrailjevim, jesam li jednu reč rekao kome od sudija Izrailjevih, kojima zapovedah da pasu narod moj Izrailja, i kazao: Zašto mi ne načinite kuće od kedra? 8 Ovako dakle reci Davidu sluzi mom: Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: Ja te uzeh od tora, od ovaca, da budeš vođ narodu mom, Izrailju: 9 I bejah s tobom kuda si god hodio, i istrebih sve neprijatelje tvoje ispred tebe, i stekoh ti ime veliko, kao što je ime velikih ljudi koji su na zemlji. 10 I odrediću mesto narodu svom Izrailju, i posadiću ga, te će nastavati u svom mestu, i neće se više pretresati, niti će ih više mučiti nepravednici kao pre, 11 i od onog dana kad postavih sudije nad narodom svojim Izrailjem; i smiriću te od svih neprijatelja tvojih. Jošte ti javlja Gospod da će ti Gospod načiniti kuću. 12 Kad se navrše dani tvoji, i počineš kod otaca svojih, podignuću seme tvoje nakon tebe, koje će izaći iz utrobe tvoje, i utvrdiću carstvo njegovo. 13 On će sazidati dom imenu mom, i utvrdiću presto carstva njegovog doveka. 14 Ja ću mu biti Otac, i on će mi biti sin: ako učini šta zlo, karaću ga prutom ljudskim i udarcima sinova čovečijih. 15 Ali milost moja neće se ukloniti od njega kao što sam je uklonio od Saula, kog uklonih ispred tebe. 16 Nego će tvrd biti dom tvoj i carstvo tvoje doveka pred tobom, i presto će tvoj stajati doveka. 17 Po svim ovim rečima i po svoj ovoj utvari kaza Natan Davidu. 18 Tada dođe car David i stade pred Gospodom, i reče: Ko sam ja, Gospode, Gospode, i šta je moj dom, te si me doveo dovde? 19 Pa i to Ti se još čini malo, Gospode, Gospode, nego si govorio i za dom sluge svog na dugo vremena. Je li to zakon čovečji, Gospode, Gospode! 20 Ali šta će jošte David da Ti govori? Ta Ti znaš slugu svog, Gospode, Gospode! 21 Radi reči svoje i po srcu svom učinio si sve ove velike stvari obznanjujući ih sluzi svom. 22 Zato si velik, Gospode Bože, nema takvog kakav si Ti; i nema Boga osim Tebe, po svemu što čusmo svojim ušima. 23 Jer koji je narod na zemlji kao Tvoj narod Izrailj? Kog je radi Bog išao da ga iskupi da mu bude narod i da steče sebi ime i da vam učini velika i strašna dela u zemlji Tvojoj, pred narodom Tvojim, koji si iskupio sebi iz Misira, od naroda i bogova njihovih. 24 Jer si utvrdio sebi narod svoj Izrailja da Ti bude narod doveka; a Ti si im, Gospode, Bog. 25 I tako, Gospode Bože, reč koju si obrekao sluzi svom i domu njegovom, potvrdi zasvagda, i učini kako si rekao. 26 Neka se veliča ime Tvoje do veka, da se govori: Gospod je nad vojskama Bog nad Izrailjem; i dom sluge Tvog Davida neka stoji tvrdo pred Tobom. 27 Jer si Ti, Gospode nad vojskama, Bože Izrailjev, javio sluzi svom govoreći: Dom ću sazidati tebi. Zato sluga Tvoj nađe u srcu svom da Ti se pomoli ovom molitvom. 28 Tako, Gospode, Gospode, Ti si Bog, i reči su Tvoje istina; Ti si ovo dobro obrekao sluzi svom. 29 Budi, dakle, voljan i blagoslovi dom sluge svog da bude doveka pred Tobom; jer si Ti Gospode, rekao, i Tvojim će blagoslovom biti blagosloven dom sluge Tvog doveka.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And his house shall be faithful, and his kingdom even for evermore before me, and his throne shall be set up even for evermore." He who thinks this grand promise was fulfilled in Solomon greatly errs; for he attends to the saying, "He shall build me an house," but he does not attend to the saying, "His house shall be …

For there, that is, in the Book of Samuel, he says, "And if he commit iniquity I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men; but my mercy will I not take away from him," meaning by stripes the strokes of correction.

Therefore David understanding this, says in the second Book of Kings, in the passage from which we digressed to this psalm, "Thou hast spoken also for Thy servant's house for a great while to come."
