12. Both riches and honor come from You. You rule over everything. In Your hand is power and might, in Your hand, to magnify and give strength to all.
13. Now, our God, we give you thanks and praise Your glorious Name.
14. “But who am I and who are my people that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For everything comes from You, and from Your hand we have given to You.
15. For we are sojourners before You, mere transients like our fathers. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, without security.
