1 Chronicles 29:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ I know, my God, that you test people’s hearts.
    You are happy when people do what is right.
I was happy to give all these things,
    and I gave with an honest heart.
Your people gathered here are happy to give to you,
    and I rejoice to see their giving.
¹⁸ Lord, you are the God of our ancestors,
    the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Make your people want to serve you always,
    and make them want to obey you.
¹⁹ Give my son Solomon a desire to serve you.
    Help him always obey your commands, laws, and rules.
Help him build the Temple
    for which I have prepared.”
