14 And because who am I? and who my people, that we shall retain power to show ourselves willing according to this? for from thee all things, and from thy hand they gave to thee. 15 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers: as a shadow our days upon the earth, and no expectation. 16 O Jehovah our God, all this multitude that we prepared to build to thee a house for thy holy name, it is from thy hand, and to thee the whole. 17 And I knew, my God, that thou triest the heart, and from uprightness thou wilt delight. I in the uprightness of my heart gave willingly all these: and now thy people were found here; I saw with gladness to show themselves willing to thee. 1 Chronicles 29:14-17, Smith's Literal Translation.
