13. Now, our God, we thank youand praise your glorious name.
14. “These things did not really come from me and my people.Everything comes from you;we have given you back what you gave us.
15. We are like foreigners and strangers,as our ancestors were.Our time on earth is like a shadow.There is no hope.
16. Lord our God, we have gathered all thisto build your Temple for worship to you.But everything has come from you;everything belongs to you.
