10So DavidH1732 blessedH1288 the LordH3068 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the assemblyH6951; and DavidH1732 saidH559, “BlessedH1288 are You, LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our fatherH1, foreverH5769 and everH5769. 119Yours, LordH3068, is the greatnessH1420, the powerH1369, the gloryH8597, the victoryH5331, and the majestyH1935, indeedH3588 everythingH3605 that is in the heavensH8064 and on the earthH776; Yours is the dominionH4467, LordH3068, and You exaltH5375 Yourself as headH7218 over allH3605. 1210Both richesH6239 and honorH3519 come from You, and You ruleH4910 over allH3605, and 11in Your handH3027 is powerH3581 and mightH1369; and it lies in Your handH3027 to makeH1431 greatH1431 and to strengthenH2388 everyoneH3605. 13NowH6258 therefore, our GodH430, we thankH3034 You, and praiseH1984 Your gloriousH8597 nameH8034.
14“But whoH4310 am I and whoH4310 are my peopleH5971 that we should 12beH6113 ableH6113H3581 to offerH5068 as generously as thisH2088? For allH3605 thingsH3605 come from You, and from Your handH3027 we have givenH5414 to You. 15For 13we are strangersH1616 beforeH6440 You, and temporaryH8453 residentsH8453, as allH3605 our fathersH1 were; 14our daysH3117 on the earthH776 are like a shadowH6738, and thereH369 isH369 noH369 hopeH4723. 16LordH3068 our GodH430, allH3605 thisH2088 abundanceH1995 that we have providedH3559 to buildH1129 You a houseH1004 for Your holyH6944 nameH8034, it is from Your handH3027, and everythingH3605 is Yours. 17Since I knowH3045, my GodH430, that 15You putH974 the heartH3824 toH974 theH974 testH974 and 16delightH7521 in uprightnessH4339, I, in the integrityH3476 of my heartH3824, have willinglyH5068 offeredH5068 allH3605 theseH428 things; so nowH6258 with joyH8057 I have seenH7200 Your peopleH5971, who areH4672 presentH4672 hereH6311, makeH5068 their offeringsH5068 willinglyH5068 to You. 18LordH3068, GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, our fathersH1, keepH8104 thisH2088 foreverH5769 in the 17intentionsH3336H4284 of the heartsH3824 of Your peopleH5971, and directH3559 their heartsH3824 to You; 19and 18giveH5414 my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 a perfectH8003 heartH3824 to keepH8104 Your commandmentsH4687, Your testimoniesH5715, and Your statutesH2706, and to doH6213 them allH3605, and 19to buildH1129 the 20templeH1002 for whichH834 I have madeH3559 provisionH3559.”
20Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to allH3605 the assemblyH6951, “NowH4994 blessH1288 the LordH3068 your GodH430.” And 21allH3605 the assemblyH6951 blessedH1288 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, and 22bowedH6915 downH6915 and paidH2331 23homageH2331 to the LordH3068 and the kingH4428.
