6 Then athe leaders of the fathers’ houses, leaders of the tribes of Israel, the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with bthe officers over the king’s work, coffered willingly.  
7 They gave for the work of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
8 And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, into the hand of aJehiel the Gershonite.  
9 Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had aoffered willingly to the Lord; and King David also rejoiced greatly.  

David’s Praise to God

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 aYours, 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 aBoth 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 great
And to give strength to all. 
13 “Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.
14 But who am I, and1 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 awe are aliens and pilgrims before You,
As were all our fathers;
bOur days on earth are as a shadow,
And without hope.  
16 “O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own.
