1 Chronicles 29:15 in Context — 1 Chronicles 29
13 Maintenant, ô notre Dieu, nous te louons, et nous célébrons ton nom glorieux.
14 Car qui suis-je et qui est mon peuple, pour que nous puissions te faire volontairement ces offrandes? Tout vient de toi, et nous recevons de ta main ce que nous t’offrons.
15 Nous sommes devant toi des étrangers et des habitants, comme tous nos pères; nos jours sur la terre sont comme l’ombre, et il n’y a point d’espérance.
16 Éternel, notre Dieu, c’est de ta main que viennent toutes ces richesses que nous avons préparées pour te bâtir une maison, à toi, à ton saint nom, et c’est à toi que tout appartient.
17 Je sais, ô mon Dieu, que tu sondes le cœur, et que tu aimes la droiture; aussi je t’ai fait toutes ces offrandes volontaires dans la droiture de mon cœur, et j’ai vu maintenant avec joie ton peuple qui se trouve ici t’offrir volontairement ses dons.
