9. Then the people rejoiced over their freewill offerings because with a whole heart they offered willingly to Adonai. King David also rejoiced with great joy.
10. David blessed Adonai before the whole congregation saying, “Blessed are You, Adonai, God of Israel our father, from eternity to eternity!
11. Yours, Adonai, is the greatness, the power and the splendor, and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything in heaven and earth. Yours is the kingdom, Adonai and You are exalted above all.
12. Both riches and honor come from You. You rule over everything. In Your hand is power and might, in Your hand, to magnify and give strength to all.
13. Now, our God, we give you thanks and 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 everything comes from You, and from Your hand we have given to You.
15. For we are sojourners before You, mere transients like our fathers. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, without security.
16. Adonai Eloheinu, all this abundance that we have laid aside to build You a House for Your holy Name is from Your hand; it all belongs to You.
