Thematic Bible



And David blessed the LORD before all the congregation and said, "Blessed art thou LORD God of Israel our father, from ever and for ever. Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, power and glory, victory and praise: for all that is in heaven and in earth is thine, and thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art lifted up a head above all. And riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all, and in thine hand is power and strength, and in thine hand it is to make great and to give strength unto all. read more.
And now our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. For what am I? And what is my people, that would obtain strength to be so willing? But all is of thee, and of that we received of thine hand we have given thee. For we be but strangers before thee and tenants, as were all our fathers. Our days on the earth is but a shadow, and there is none abiding. O LORD our God, all this heap that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name, cometh of thine hand, and is all thine. I know my God, that thou provest the heart and hast pleasure in plainness. And in plainness of mine heart I have willingly given all this. And now I see thy people, which are here in gladness to offer willingly to thee. O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their hearts unto thee. And give unto Solomon my son, a pure heart to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies and thine ordinances, and to do all, and to build the house which I intended."


"The spirit of the LORD spake in me, and his words were on my tongue. The God of Israel spake unto me, and the strength of Israel said, 'He that beareth rule over men, he that ruleth justly in the fear of God, shall be as the morning light, when the sun shineth in a morning in which are no clouds to let the brightness; and as the grass of the earth is by the virtue of the rain.' read more.
And is not mine house so with God? In that he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, perfect in all points. And in that he shall fulfill all that is healthsome unto me, and all my desires thereto; when the unthrifty men are all of them as thorns taken out of their places, which cannot be taken with hands. But the man that shall touch them must be armed with iron on a long helve. And then shall they be burned with fire to sit thereby."
