1Ch 29:11 Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
Ver. 11. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory.] David beginneth somewhat like as the Lord’s Prayer endeth: and here we have a pattern of a larger prayer, as there of a short. All these excellencies and all others are in God originally, essentially, eminently, transcendently. Of him we are to think as of one not to be thought of.

That is, either God is possessed of all greatness and immensity, of dignity of nature, and of all perfections; of almighty power, of excellent glory, of superiority to all beings and of honour, and majesty, and all that grandeur, might, and honour in men, and victory over others; the majestic appearance they make, and exaltation above others they have, are all of God:
for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; they are both made by him, and all that is in them, and therefore he has the sole right unto them:

Verse 11. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness] This verse is thus paraphrased by the Targum: "Thine, O Lord, is the magnificence; for thou hast created the world by thy great power, and by thy might hast led our fathers out of Egypt, and with great signs hast caused them to pass through the Red Sea. Thou hast appeared gloriously on Mount Sinai, with troops of angels, in giving law to thy people. Thou hast gained the victory over Amalek; over Sihon and Og, kings of Canaan. By the splendour of thy majesty thou hast caused the sun to stand still on Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of Ajalon, until thy people, the house of Israel, were avenged of their enemies. All things that are in heaven and earth are the work of thy hands, and thou rulest over and sustainest whatsoever is in the heavens and in the earth. Thine, O Lord, is the kingdom in the firmament; and thou art exalted above the heavenly angels, and over all who are constituted rulers upon earth."

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers 1878 · Public Domain (11) Thine, O Lord, is the greatness.—The point of…
(11) Thine, O Lord, is the greatness.—The point of 1Ch_29:11-12 seems to be that David arrogates nothing to himself; but, with the humility of genuine greatness, ascribes everything to God. As if he said, “The greatness of my kingdom, the prowess of my warriors, the splendour and majesty of my throne, are thine, for thine are all things.”
Greatness.—Gĕdullâh, a late word. (Comp. Psa_71:21; Psa_145:3.)
Read full note →
Power.—Strictly, manly strength; then valour, prowess (Psa_21:13). (Comp. Exo_15:3.)
The glory.—Ornament, beauty, splendour (Isa_3:18; Isa_13:19; Isa_46:13; Psa_96:6).
Majesty.—See Psa_21:6; Psa_96:6.
Victory.—Glory, splendour (1Sa_15:29). “Victory” is the meaning of the word in Syriac, and so the LXX. and Vulg. render here. But the Syriac version has “beauty.” or “glory.” With the whole ascription, comp. Rev_4:11; Rev_5:12; Rev_7:12.
All that is in the heavens . . . is thine.—The pronoun (lâk) seems to have fallen out before the following: “Thine (lĕkâ) is the kingdom.” (Comp. for the idea Psa_89:11; Psa_24:1.)
The kingdom.—The universal sovereignty (Psa_96:10; Psa_97:1; Psa_22:28).
Thou art exalted as head above all.—Lit., And the self-exalted over all as head (art thou). (Comp. Num_16:3.) Here also the pronoun (’âttâh) may have been lost at the end. Ewald, however, explains the apparent participle as an Aramaized infinitive: “And the being exalted over all as head is thine.” (Comp. Isa_24:21 for the supremacy of God over all powers of heaven and earth.)
As head.—Comp. Deu_28:13; Psa_18:43; Col_2:10.
