^{13 Ref} Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.

^{14 Ref} But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come of you, and of your own have we given you.

^{15 Ref} For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding.

^{16 Ref} Yahweh our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes of your hand, and is all your own.

^{17 Ref} I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy your people, that are present here, offer willingly to you.
