8 Anyone who had precious stones donated them to the treasury of the Lord’s temple under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 The people rejoiced at this response, because they had presented their offerings to the Lord so willingly and wholeheartedly. King David also rejoiced greatly.
10 Then David blessed the Lord before the whole assembly:Blessed are you, Lord, God of our ancestor Israel,forever and always.
11 To you, Lord, belong greatness and power,honor, splendor, and majesty,because everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you.Yours, Lord, is the kingship,and you are honored as head of all.
12 You are the source of wealth and honor,and you rule over all.In your hand are strength and might,and it is in your power to magnify and strengthen all.
13 And now, our God, we thank youand praise your glorious name.
14 Who am I,and who are my people,that we should be able to offer so willingly?Since everything comes from you,we have given you that which comes from your own hand.
