New King James Version

1 Chronicles 29:9-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

9. Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the Lord; and King David also rejoiced greatly.

10. Therefore David blessed the Lord before all the assembly; and David said:“Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.

11. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness,The power and the glory,The victory and the majesty;For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,And You are exalted as head over all.

12. Both riches and honor come from You,And You reign over all.In Your hand is power and might;In Your hand it is to make greatAnd to give strength to all.

13. “Now therefore, our God,We thank YouAnd praise Your glorious name.

14. But who am I, and who are my people,That we should be able to offer so willingly as this?For all things come from You,And of Your own we have given You.

15. For we are aliens and pilgrims before You,As were all our fathers;Our days on earth are as a shadow,And without hope.
