16 Lord, our God,
    all of this wealth that we have to build a temple for you
    and for your holy name is from your hand,
    and it all belongs to you.

and that you are pleased with
    the integrity of my heart.

And now I have seen your people who are present here.
They joyfully and willingly make
    this offering to you.
18 Lord, God of our fathers,
    of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
keep this desire in the inner thoughts
    of your people forever,
    and make their hearts loyal to you.
