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.
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.
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.
19 And agive my son Solomon a loyal heart to keep Your commandments and Your testimonies and Your statutes, to do all these things, and to build the1 temple for which bI have made provision.”
