1 Chronicles 29:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ My God, I know that you test people,
    and that you are happy when people do what is right.
I gladly give you all these things
    with a pure, honest heart.
I see your people gathered here,
    and I see that they are happy about giving these things to you.
¹⁸ Lord, you are the God of our ancestors,
    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Please help your people plan the right things.
    Help them be loyal and true to you.
¹⁹ And help my son Solomon be true to you.
    Help him always obey your commands, laws, and rules.
Help Solomon do these things.
    And help him build this Temple that I have planned.”
