1 Chronicles 29:10-19
“10 Wherefore David blessed the Lord before
all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel our
father, for ever and ever.
11 Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and
the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and
in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as
head above all.
12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou
reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it
is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise
thy glorious name.
14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should
be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and
of thine own have we given thee.
15 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as
were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none
abiding.
16 O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared
to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all
thine own.
17 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and
hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I
have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy
people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.
18 O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our
fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of
thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
19 And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to
keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these
things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision.”
Praise ye the Lord!!!
