1 Chronicles 29:12-16

English Standard Version

^12 (A)Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. ^(B)In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. ¹³ And 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. ^15 (C)For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are ^(D)like a shadow, and there is no abiding.^{[a] 16} O 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.
