1 Chronicles 29:11-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.(A) 12 Riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler of everything.(B) Power and might are in Your hand, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.(C) 13 Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks and praise Your glorious name.
14 But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from You, and we have given You only what comes from Your own hand.[a] 15 For we live before You as foreigners and temporary residents in Your presence as were all our ancestors.(D) Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.(E) 16 Yahweh our God, all this wealth that we’ve provided for building You a house for Your holy name comes from Your hand; everything belongs to You.
