Here the metonym "house" refers to David's ancestors continuing on as the rulers of Israel. In [1 Chronicles 17:4](./03.md) Yahweh tells David he would not be the one to build a house for Yahweh. There "house" represented a temple. If your language has a word that can express both ideas, use it here and in 17:4. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# I, your servant, have found courage
The abstract noun "courage" can be expressed here as the verb "encouraged." AT: "I, your servant, am encouraged"
# Now
This does not mean "at this moment," but is used to draw attention to the important point that follows.
# your servant's house
David speaks of himself in the third person. This can be expressed in the first person. AT: "my house" or "my family" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
# You, Yahweh, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever
These two phrases have about the same meaning and are repeated here for emphasis. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
