Nathan gave God's word to David, and David now responds. God has told David he is asking for the wrong thing. Instead of reacting with a grump, he accepts the word and responds with humility praise and thankfulness.
Why did God do this for David? "For the sake of your word and according to your will". That is why God acts in our life as well.
David glories also in the uniqueness of God and the unique way He deals with His people. We need to realise that God deals with us in a unique way, and everything flows from God.
David then calls on the Lord to keep His promise. David is not doubting that God will do this, but rather he is affirming his agreement and submission to God's promise.
