6:8a But the LORD said to my father David,

But Yahweh told David my father,
-or-
However, Yahweh told him,

6:8b ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.

‘When you (sing) desired to build a temple for my name, you did very well.
-or-
‘I am pleased that you wanted to build a house ⌊to honor⌋ my name.
