1 Chronicles 29:9-16
English Standard Version
10Therefore David blessed the Lord in the presence of all the assembly. And David said: "Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.
11Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.
12Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.
13And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.
14"But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
15For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.
16O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own.
