David Prays in the Assembly

10 Therefore David blessed the Lord in the presence of all the assembly. And David said: (A)“Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. 11 (B)Yours, 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. 12 (C)Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. (D)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 (E)For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are (F)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. 17 I know, my God, (G)that you test the heart and (H)have pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you. 18 O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of your people, and direct their hearts toward you. 19 (I)Grant to Solomon my son a whole heart that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, performing all, and that he may (J)build the palace (K)for which I have made provision.”

20 Then David said to all the assembly, (L)“Bless the Lord your God.” And all the assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers, (M)and bowed their heads and paid homage to the Lord and to the king.

The Mystery of Israel's Salvation

25 (A)Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers:[a] (B)a partial hardening has come upon Israel, (C)until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,

(D)“The Deliverer will come (E)from Zion,
    he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;

17 “Thus says the Lord God: Are you (A)he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them? 18 But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares the Lord God, (B)my wrath will be roused in my anger. 19 For (C)in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day (D)there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 (E)The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth, (F)shall quake at my presence. And (G)the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground. 21 (H)I will summon a sword against Gog[a] on all my mountains, declares the Lord God. (I)Every man's sword will be against his brother. 22 With pestilence and bloodshed (J)I will enter into judgment with him, and (K)I will rain upon him and (L)his hordes and the many peoples who are with him (M)torrential rains and hailstones, (N)fire and sulfur. 23 So I will show my greatness and my (O)holiness and (P)make myself known in the eyes of many nations.

(C)Nothing is too hard for you. 18 (D)You show steadfast love to thousands, (E)but you repay the guilt of fathers (F)to their children after them, O great and (G)mighty God, whose name is the (H)Lord of hosts, 19 (I)great in counsel and (J)mighty in deed, (K)whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, (L)rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds. 20 You have shown (M)signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all mankind, (N)and have made a name for yourself, as at this day. 21 (O)You brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and (P)outstretched arm, (Q)and with great terror. 22 And you gave them this land, (R)which you swore to their fathers to give them, (S)a land flowing with milk and honey. 23 And they entered and took possession of it. (T)But they did not obey your voice or walk in your law. They did nothing of all you commanded them to do. Therefore you have made all this disaster come upon them. 24 Behold, (U)the siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and (V)because of sword and famine and pestilence (W)the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it.
