1 Chronicles 29:6-14 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

6. Then the princes of the fathers’ households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king’s work, offered willingly;

7. and they gave for the service of God’s house of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, of silver ten thousand talents, of bronze eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents.

8. People with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the Lord’s house, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

9. Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord; and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

10. Therefore David blessed the Lord before all the assembly; and David said, “You are blessed, Lord, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.

11. Yours, Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.

12. Both riches and honour come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand 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, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
