How blessed you are, Lord,
    the God of our ancestor Israel,
        from eternity to eternity!
¹¹ To you, Lord, belongs the greatness, and the valor,
    and the splendor, and the endurance, and the majesty
because all that is in heaven
    and on earth is yours.
To you belongs the kingdom, Lord,
    and you are exalted as head over all.
¹² Both wealth and honor proceed from you,
    and you are ruling over them all.
You control^[a] power—
    you control who is made great,
        and how everyone becomes strong.
¹³ And so, our God, we are giving you thanks,
    and we are praising your wonderful name!

¹⁴ But who am I,
    and who are my people,
        that we make such voluntary offerings as these?
For all things come from you,
    and from your own hand we are giving to you.
¹⁵ For we are aliens and vagrants in your presence,
    as were all of our ancestors.
Our days on the earth pass away like shadows,
    and we have no hope.

¹⁶ Lord our God, all of this abundance that we have given
    for building a temple for your great name
was provided by you^[b]
    and all of it belongs to you.
¹⁷ And I know, God,
    that it is you who searches the heart
        and you who finds pleasure in righteousness.
With a righteous heart I have freely given all these things,
    and now I have seen all of these people of yours
        giving freely and joyfully to you!
¹⁸ Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our ancestors,
    keep your purposes and thoughts
        constantly in the hearts of your people
and direct their hearts toward you,
¹⁹ granting to my son Solomon to keep with a devoted heart
your commands, your decrees, and your statutes,
    carrying out all of them,
and that he may build the Temple
    for which I have made the preparations.
