10David praised the Lord in front of all the people who had met together. He said, ‘We praise you Lord, the God of our ancestor, Israel.

You are the one who gives people riches and honour. You rule over everything. You have great strength and power, so you are able to make people strong and famous. 13So we thank you, our God. We praise your great name! 14But I and my people are like nothing. How are we able to give all these gifts to help your work? Everything that we have comes from you. So we are giving back to you things that already belong to you.
