1 Chronicles 29:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name, is from thy hand, and all things are thine.

¹⁷ I know my God that thou provest hearts, and lovest simplicity, wherefore I also in the simplicity of my heart, have joyfully offered all these things: and I have seen with great joy thy people, which are here present, offer thee their offerings.

¹⁸ O Lord God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel our fathers, keep for ever this will of their heart, and let this mind remain always for the worship of thee.
