*
Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation :
and David said ,
Blessed be thou ,
LORD God of Israel our father ,
for ever and ever .
*
Thine ,
O LORD ,
is the greatness ,
and the power ,
and the glory tiph #
arah #,
and the victory ,
and the majesty :
for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine ;
thine is the kingdom ,
O LORD ,
and thou art exalted as head above all .
*
Both riches and honour come of thee ,
and thou reignest over all ;
and in thine hand is power and might ;
and in thine hand it is to make great ,
and to give strength unto all .
*
Now therefore ,
our God ,
we thank thee ,
and praise thy glorious name .
*
But who am I ,
and what is my people ,
that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort ?
for all things come of thee ,
and of thine own have we given thee .
*
For we are strangers before thee ,
and sojourners ,
as were all our fathers :
our days on the earth are as a shadow ,
and there is none abiding .
*
O LORD our God ,
all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand ,
and is all thine own .
*
I know also ,
my God ,
that thou triest the heart ,
and hast pleasure in uprightness .
As for me ,
in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things :
and now have I seen with joy thy people ,
which are present here ,
to offer willingly unto thee .
*
O LORD God of Abraham ,
Isaac ,
and of Israel Yisra #
el #,
our fathers ,
keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people ,
and prepare their heart unto thee :
*
And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart ,
to keep thy commandments ,
thy testimonies ,
and thy statutes ,
and to do all these things ,
and to build the palace ,
for the which I have made provision .
*
And David said to all the congregation ,
Now bless the LORD your God .
And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers ,
and bowed down their heads ,
and worshipped the LORD ,
and the king .
*
And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD ,
and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD ,
on the morrow after that day ,
even a thousand bullocks ,
a thousand rams ,
and a thousand lambs ,
with their drink offerings ,
and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel Yisra #

*
And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness .
And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time ,
and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief governor ,
and Zadok to be priest .
*
Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father ,
and prospered ;
and all Israel obeyed him .
*
And all the princes ,
and the mighty men ,
and all the sons likewise of king David ,
submitted themselves yad #
unto Solomon the king .
*
And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel Yisra #
el #,
and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel Yisra #
