1 Chronicles 29:10-20

10And David blessed Jehovah in the sight of all the congregation; and David said, Blessed be thou, Jehovah, the 1God of our father Israel, for ever and ever.

11Thine, Jehovah, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the splendour, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on the earth is thine: thine, Jehovah, is the kingdom, and thou art exalted as Head above all;

12and riches and glory are of thee, and thou rulest over everything; and in thy hand is power and might; and in thy hand it is to make all great and strong.

13And now, our 2God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

14But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer willingly after this manner? for all is of thee, and of that which is from thy hand have we given thee.

15For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no hope [of life].

16Jehovah our 3God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house to thy holy name, is of thy hand, and is all thine own.

17And I know, my 4God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart have I willingly offered all these things; and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, offer willingly to thee.

18Jehovah, 5God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and direct their hearts to thee!

19And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.

20And David said to all the congregation, Bless now Jehovah your 6God. And all the congregation blessed Jehovah the 7God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and did homage to Jehovah and the king.
