2Sam 7, 22-25 Great are you, Lord GOD!

(2Sam 7, 22-25) Great are you, Lord GOD!

[22] And so - "Great are you, Lord GOD! There is none like you and there is no God but you, just as we have heard it told. [23] What other nation on earth is there like your people Israel, which God has led, redeeming it as his people; so that you have made yourself renowned by doing this magnificent deed, and by doing awe-inspiring things as you cleared nations and their gods out of the way of your people, which you redeemed for yourself from Egypt? [24] You have established for yourself your people Israel as yours forever, and you, LORD, have become their God. [25] And now, LORD God, confirm for all time the prophecy you have made concerning your servant and his house, and do as you have promised.

(CCC 215) "The sum of your word is truth; and every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever" (Ps 119:160) "and now, O LORD God, you are God, and your words are true" (2 Sam 7:28); this is why God's promises always come true (Cf. Dt 7:9). God is Truth itself, whose words cannot deceive. This is why one can abandon oneself in full trust to the truth and faithfulness of his word in all things. The beginning of sin and of man's fall was due to a lie of the tempter who induced doubt of God's word, kindness and faithfulness.
