1 Chronicles 29:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ Lord our God, we have gathered all this to build your Temple.
    We will build it for worship to you.
But everything has come from you.
    Everything belongs to you.
¹⁷ I know, my God, that you test people’s hearts.
    You are happy when people do what is right.
I was happy to give all these things.
    I gave with an honest heart.
Your people gathered here are happy to give to you.
    I am happy to see their giving.
¹⁸ Lord, you are the God of our ancestors.
    You are the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Please help your people to want to serve you always.
    And help them to want to obey you always.
