1 Chronicles 29:6-20

6Then the princesH8269 of the fathers’H1houses, and the princesH8269 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and the captains of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, with the rulers over the king’sH4428 workH4399, offeredH5068 willingly; 7and they gaveH5414 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430 of goldH2091 fiveH2568 thousandH505 talentsH3603 and tenH6235 thousandH505 daricsH150, and of silverH3701 tenH6235 thousandH505 talentsH3603, and of brass eighteen thousandH505 talentsH3603, and of ironH1270 a hundredH3967 thousandH505 talentsH3603. 8And they with whom precious stonesH68 were foundH4672 gaveH5414 them to the treasureH214 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, under the handH3027 of JehielH3171 the GershoniteH1649. 9Then the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055, for that they offeredH5068 willingly, because with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 they offeredH5068 willingly to Jehovah: and DavidH1732 the kingH4428 alsoH1571 rejoicedH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057.

10Wherefore DavidH1732 blessedH1288 Jehovah before all the assemblyH6951; and DavidH1732 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our fatherH1, for everH5769 and everH5769. 11Thine, O Jehovah, is the greatnessH1420, and the power, and the gloryH8597, and the victory, and the majestyH1935: for all that is in the heavensH8064 and in the earthH776 is thine; thine is the kingdomH4467, O Jehovah, and thou art exalted as headH7218 above all. 12Both richesH6239 and honorH3519 come of thee, and thou rulest over all; and in thy handH3027 is power and might; and in thy handH3027 it is to makeH1431 greatH1431, and to give strengthH1369 unto all. 13NowH6258 thereforeH6258, our GodH430, we thankH3034 thee, and praiseH1984 thy glorious nameH8034. 14But who am I, and what is my peopleH5971, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we givenH5414 thee. 15For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathersH1 were: our daysH3117 on the earthH776 are as a shadowH6738, and there is no abiding. 16O Jehovah our GodH430, all this store that we have preparedH3559 to buildH1129 thee a houseH1004 for thy holyH6944 nameH8034 cometh of thy handH3027, and is all thine own. 17I knowH3045 also, my GodH430, that thou triest the heartH3824, and hast pleasureH8057 in uprightnessH3476. As for me, in the uprightnessH3476 of my heartH3824 I have willingly offeredH5068 all these thingsH428: and nowH6258 have I seenH7200 with joyH8057 thy peopleH5971, that are present hereH6311, offerH5068 willingly unto thee. 18O Jehovah, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, of IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, our fathersH1, keepH8104 this for everH5769 in the imagination of the thoughtsH4284 of the heartH3824 of thy peopleH5971, and prepareH3559 their heartH3824 unto thee; 19and giveH5414 unto SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 a perfectH8003 heartH3824, to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687, thy testimoniesH5715, and thy statutesH2708, and to do all these things, and to buildH1129 the palace, for which I have madeH6213 provision.

20And DavidH1732 saidH559 to all the assemblyH6951, Now blessH1288 Jehovah your GodH430. And all the assemblyH6951 blessedH1288 Jehovah, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, and bowedH7812 downH7812 their heads, and worshipped Jehovah, and the kingH4428.
