📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from David's prayer of thanksgiving after God promised through the prophet Nathan that David's dynasty would be established forever. David had wanted to build a temple for God, but God instead promised to build David's house (lineage) into an eternal kingdom. David is overwhelmed by God's generous covenant and feels he has nothing more to say since God already knows his heart completely.
