1 Chronicles 29:10 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

1 Chronicles 29:10

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.

17 I know also, my God, that You ^atest the heart and ^bhave pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here to offer willingly to You.

18 O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward 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.
