For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all. <span class="verse" id="V12">12 </span>Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all! <span class="verse" id="V13">13 </span>Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name. <span class="verse" id="V14">14 </span>But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. <span class="verse" id="V15">15 </span>For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining. <span class="verse" id="V16">16 </span>Yahweh our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own. <span class="verse" id="V17">17 </span>I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you. <span class="verse" id="V18">18 </span>Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you; <span class="verse" id="V19">19 </span>and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V20">20 </span>Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless Yahweh your God!” </div><div class='p'>All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before Yahweh and the king. <span class="verse" id="V21">21 </span>They sacrificed sacrifices to Yahweh, and offered burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel, <span class="verse" id="V22">22 </span>and ate and drank before Yahweh on that day with great gladness.
