David's Prayer of Blessing

10 And he blessed our Lord before all the multitude, and he said: Blessed art thou, o Lord the God of Israel, our father, from eternity unto eternity.📜💬📚

11 Thine o Lord is the magnificence, and might, and glory, and victory: and to thee is the praise: for all things that be in heaven, and in the earth, are thine: thine o Lord is the Kingdom, & thou art over all Princes.📜💬📚

12 Thine are riches and thine is glory: thou hast dominion over all, in thy hand is power and might: in thy hand greatness, and the empire of all things.📜💬📚

13 Now therefore our God we confess to thee, and we praise thy glorious name.📜💬📚

14 Who am I, and what is my people, that we can promise thee all these things? All are thine: and things that we received of thy hand, we have given thee.📜💬📚

15 For we are pilgrims before thee, and strangers, as all our fathers. Our days are as a shadow upon the earth, and there is no abiding.📜💬📚

16 Lord our God, all this plenty, which we have prepared that a house might be built to thy holy name, is of thy hand, and all things are thine.📜💬📚

17 I know my God that thou provest the hearts, and lovest simplicity, wherefore I also in the simplicity of my heart, gladly have offered all these things: and thy people, which is here found, I have seen with great joy offer thee donaries.📜💬📚

18 Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel our fathers, keep for ever this will of their heart, and let this mind remain always to the honour of thee.📜💬📚

19 To Salomon also my son give a perfect heart, that he keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy ceremonies, and do all things: and build the house, the expenses whereof I have prepared.📜💬📚
