David Prays In The Assembly

¹⁶ O Lord our God, all this store, which we have made ready for the building of a house for your holy name, comes from your hand and is yours. ¹⁷ And I am conscious, my God, that you are the searcher of hearts, taking pleasure in righteousness. As for me, with an upright heart I have freely given all these things; and I have seen with joy your people who are here to make their offerings freely to you. ¹⁸ O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the deepest thoughts of your people, and let their hearts be fixed and true to you;
