May You be blessed, O LORD
on 1 Chronicles 29:10-13
David blesses the LORD, and the doxology opens, “Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory”. Adam Clarke notes the Targum widens it into a recital of the Exodus and Sinai. Verse 12 turns to thanks, since “Both riches and honor come from You”.
This site's exposition
Both riches and honor come
David names the LORD as the source of riches and honor and the ruler over all. Power and might rest in His hands. Matthew Henry, on the verse before, says all the power of every creature is drawn from God and depends on Him.
