Context
David Praises the Lord
29:10 David praised the Lord before the entire assembly : “O Lord God of our father Israel , you deserve praise forevermore ! 29:11 O Lord , you are great , mighty , majestic , magnificent , glorious , and sovereign over all the sky and earth ! You have dominion and exalt yourself as the ruler of all . 29:12 You are the source of wealth and honor ; you rule over all . You possess strength and might to magnify and give strength to all . 29:13 Now , our God , we give thanks to you and praise your majestic name ! 29:14 “But who am I and who are my people , that we should be in a position to contribute this much? Indeed , everything comes from you, and we have simply given back to you what is yours. 29:15 For we are resident foreigners and nomads in your presence , like all our ancestors ; our days are like a shadow on the earth , without security . 29:16 O Lord our God , all this wealth , which we have collected to build a temple for you to honor your holy name , comes from you ; it all belongs to you. 29:17 I know , my God , that you examine thoughts and are pleased with integrity . With pure motives I contribute all this ; and now I look with joy as your people who have gathered here contribute to you. 29:18 O Lord God of our ancestors Abraham , Isaac , and Israel , maintain the motives of your people and keep them devoted to you. 29:19 Make my son Solomon willing to obey your commands , rules , and regulations , and to complete building the palace for which I have made preparations .” 29:20 David told the entire assembly : “Praise the Lord your God !” So the entire assembly praised the Lord God of their ancestors ; they bowed down and stretched out flat on the ground before the Lord and the king .
