1 Chronicles 29:13-17
Context29:13 Now, our God, we give thanks to you and praise your majestic name!
29:14 “But who am I and who are my people, that we should be in a position to contribute this much? 1 Indeed, everything comes from you, and we have simply given back to you what is yours. 2 29:15 For we are resident foreigners and nomads in your presence, like all our ancestors; 3 our days are like a shadow on the earth, without security. 4 29:16 O Lord our God, all this wealth, which we have collected to build a temple for you to honor your holy name, comes from you; it all belongs to you. 29:17 I know, my God, that you examine thoughts 5 and are pleased with integrity. With pure motives 6 I contribute all this; and now I look with joy as your people who have gathered here contribute to you.
