1 Chronicles 29:10-19
Tree of Life Version
10 David blessed Adonai before the whole congregation saying,
“Blessed are You, Adonai,
God of Israel our father,
from eternity to eternity!
11 Yours, Adonai, is the greatness, the power
and the splendor, and the victory and the majesty,
indeed everything in heaven and earth.
Yours is the kingdom, Adonai
and You are exalted above all.
12 Both riches and honor come from You.
You rule over everything.
In Your hand is power and might,
in Your hand, to magnify and give strength to all.
13 Now, 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 offer so willingly as this? For everything comes from You, and from Your hand we have given to You. 15 For we are sojourners before You, mere transients like our fathers. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, without security. 16 Adonai Eloheinu, all this abundance that we have laid aside to build You a House for Your holy Name is from Your hand; it all belongs to You. 17 I know, my God, that You search the heart and take pleasure in uprightness. With integrity of heart I have willingly offered all these things. And now I have seen with joy Your people who are present here willingly contribute to You. 18 Adonai, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel our fathers, preserve forever such motives and thoughts in the heart of Your people and make their heart constant toward You. 19 As for my son Solomon, give him a whole heart to keep Your mitzvot, Your decrees and Your statutes, and to fulfill them all and to build the Temple for which I have made provision.”

David’s Prayer
10 David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,
“Praise be to you, Lord,
the God of our father Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power(A)
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.(B)
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.(C)
12 Wealth and honor(D) come from you;
you are the ruler(E) of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.
13 Now, 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?(F) Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.(G) 15 We are foreigners and strangers(H) in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow,(I) without hope. 16 Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. 17 I know, my God, that you test the heart(J) and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you.(K) 18 Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you. 19 And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion(L) to keep your commands, statutes and decrees(M) and to do everything to build the palatial structure for which I have provided.”(N)
