1 Chronicles 29:6-20

6Then the chiefH8269 of the fathersH1 and princesH8269 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, with the rulersH8269 of the king’sH4428 workH4399, offered willinglyH5068, 7And gaveH5414 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430 of goldH2091 fiveH2568 thousandH505 talentsH3603 and ten thousandH7239 dramsH150, and of silverH3701 tenH6235 thousandH505 talentsH3603, and of brassH5178 eighteenH7239H8083 thousandH505 talentsH3603, and one hundredH3967 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of ironH1270. 8And they with whom precious stonesH68 were foundH4672 gaveH5414 them to the treasureH214 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, by the handH3027 of JehielH3171 the GershoniteH1649. 9Then the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055, for that they offered willinglyH5068, because with perfectH8003 heartH3820 they offered willinglyH5068 to YhwhH3068: and DavidH1732 the kingH4428 also rejoicedH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057.

10Wherefore DavidH1732 blessedH1288 YhwhH3068 beforeH5869 all the congregationH6951: and DavidH1732 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou, YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our fatherH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769. 11Thine, O YhwhH3068, is the greatnessH1420, and the powerH1369, and the gloryH8597, and the victoryH5331, and the majestyH1935: for all that is in the heavenH8064 and in the earthH776 is thine; thine is the kingdomH4467, O YhwhH3068, and thou art exaltedH4984 as headH7218 above all. 12Both richesH6239 and honourH3519 come of theeH6440, and thou reignestH4910 over all; and in thine handH3027 is powerH3581 and mightH1369; and in thine handH3027 it is to make greatH1431, and to give strengthH2388 unto all. 13Now therefore, our GodH430, we thankH3034 thee, and praiseH1984 thy gloriousH8597 nameH8034. 14But who am I, and what is my peopleH5971, that we should beH6113 ableH3581 to offer so willinglyH5068 after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine ownH3027 have we givenH5414 thee.12 15For we are strangersH1616 beforeH6440 thee, and sojournersH8453, as were all our fathersH1: our daysH3117 on the earthH776 are as a shadowH6738, and there is none abidingH4723.3 16O YhwhH3068 our GodH430, all this storeH1995 that we have preparedH3559 to buildH1129 thee an houseH1004 for thine holyH6944 nameH8034 cometh of thine handH3027, and is all thine own. 17I knowH3045 also, my GodH430, that thou triestH974 the heartH3824, and hast pleasureH7521 in uprightnessH3476. As for me, in the uprightnessH4339 of mine heartH3824 I have willingly offeredH5068 all these things: and now have I seenH7200 with joyH8057 thy peopleH5971, which are presentH4672 here, to offer willinglyH5068 unto thee.4 18O YhwhH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, our fathersH1, keepH8104 this for everH5769 in the imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of the heartH3824 of thy peopleH5971, and prepareH3559 their heartH3824 unto thee:5 19And giveH5414 unto SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 a perfectH8003 heartH3824, to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687, thy testimoniesH5715, and thy statutesH2706, and to doH6213 all these things, and to buildH1129 the palaceH1002, for the which I have made provisionH3559.

20And DavidH1732 saidH559 to all the congregationH6951, Now blessH1288 YhwhH3068 your GodH430. And all the congregationH6951 blessedH1288 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and bowed down their headsH6915, and worshippedH7812 YhwhH3068, and the kingH4428.
