1 Chronicles 29:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶ Lord our God, we gathered all these things to build your Temple.
    We build it to honor your name.
But all these things have come from you.
    Everything belongs to you.
¹⁷ My God, I know that you test people,
    and that you are happy when people do what is right.
I gladly give you all these things
    with a pure, honest heart.
I see your people gathered here,
    and I see that they are happy about giving these things to you.
¹⁸ Lord, you are the God of our ancestors,
    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Please help your people plan the right things.
    Help them be loyal and true to you.
