ORD

ORD
before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed
be
thou, L
ORD
God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
11
Thine, O L
ORD
,
is
the greatness, and the
power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all
that is
in the heaven and in the earth
is thine;
thine
is
the kingdom, O L
ORD
, and thou art exalted as head above all.
12

honour
come
of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand
is

and praise thy glorious name.

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.

are
strangers before thee, and sojourners, as
were

are
as a shadow, and
there is
none abiding.

O L
ORD
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.

ORD
God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel,
our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and
prepare their heart unto thee:

ORD

the L
ORD
