1 Chronicles 29:10-14

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.


tn Heb “assembly, and David said.” The words “and David said” are redundant according to contemporary English style and have not been included in the translation.

tn The words “and sovereign” are added in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

tn Heb “head.”

tn Heb “wealth and honor [are] from before you.”

tn Heb “and in your hand [is] strength and might and in your hand to magnify and to give strength to all.”

tn Heb “that we should retain strength to contribute like this.”

tn Heb “and from you we have given to you.”
