1 Chronicles 29:11-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

11. Lord, you are great and powerful.You have glory, victory and honor.Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you.The kingdom belongs to you, Lord.You are the ruler over everything.

12. Riches and honor come from you.You rule everything.You have the power and strengthto make anyone great and strong.

13. Now, our God, we thank you.And we praise your glorious name.

14. “These things did not really come from me and my people.Everything comes from you.We have given you back what you gave us.

15. We are like foreigners and strangers.All our ancestors were also foreigners and strangers.Our time on earth is like a shadow.There is no hope.

16. Lord our God, we have gathered all this to build your Temple.We will build it for worship to you.But everything has come from you.Everything belongs to you.
