Praising God’s Greatness
David Declared that Greatness
Power, Glory, Victory.
And Majesty Belong To The Lord.
1 Chronicles 29:10-19 (GW)
10 he praised the LORD while the whole assembly watched. David said, “May you be praised, LORD God of Israel, our father forever and ever.
11 Greatness, power, splendor, glory, and majesty are yours, LORD, because everything in heaven and on earth is yours. The kingdom is yours, LORD, and you are honored as head of all things.
12 Riches and honor are in front of you. You rule everything. You hold power and strength in your hands, and you can make anyone great and strong.
13 “Our God, we thank you and praise your wonderful name.
14 But who am I and who are my people that you enable us to give so generously? Everything comes from you. We give you only what has come from your hands.
15 To you we are all like our ancestors— foreigners without permanent homes. Our days are as fleeting as shadows on the ground. There's no hope {for them}.
16 “LORD, our God, all this wealth that we gathered to build a temple for your holy name is from you. All of it is yours.
17 I know, my God, that you examine hearts and delight in honesty. With an honest heart I have willingly offered all these things. I've been overjoyed to see your people here offering so willingly to you.
18 LORD God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, always watch over your people's deepest thoughts. Keep their hearts directed toward you.
19 Make my son Solomon completely committed {to you} so that he will obey your commands, requests, and laws and do everything to build the palace I have planned.
