What does 2 Samuel 7:27 mean?

'Lord of all, God of Israel, you’ve revealed this to your servant, saying, “I’ll build you a house.” That’s why I’ve found the courage to pray this prayer to you.' 2 Samuel 7:27 - Modern Text Bible

(David’s confidence to pray comes from God’s own promise and initiative.)
