David’s Praise to God
“Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.
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.
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.
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.

HIS THANKSGIVING. (1Ch. 29:10-25)
Wherefore David blessed the Lord—This beautiful thanksgiving prayer was the effusion overflowing with gratitude and delight at seeing the warm and widespread interest that was now taken in forwarding the favorite project of his life. Its piety is displayed in the fervor of devotional feeling—in the ascription of all worldly wealth and greatness to God as the giver, in tracing the general readiness in contributing to the influence of His grace, in praying for the continuance of this happy disposition among the people, and in solemnly and earnestly commending the young king and his kingdom to the care and blessing of God.
