1Ch 29:13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.
Ver. 13. And praise thy glorious name.] With our hearts, lips, and offerings, even the best of our substance, professing that we could esteem thee yet more and better if it were in our power. A thankful man is worth his weight in gold; he giveth the glory of all that he enjoyeth to God alone, like as solid bodies reflect the sun’s heat.

ch1 29:14
ch1 29:14
ch1 29:14But who am I,.... Originally dust and ashes, a sinful creature, unworthy to receive anything from God, and of having the honour of doing anything for him:
and what is my people: subject to him, the least of all people, separated from the nations round about them, and despised by them:
that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? that they, who were a poor people, some years ago brought out of Egyptian bondage, should now be possessed of such an affluence, and have such a generous heart and liberal spirit given them, as to contribute in so large and liberal a manner as they had done; all was owing to the goodness of God to them, and the efficacy of his grace upon them:
for all things come of thee; all good things, temporal and spiritual; the Lord is the fountain of goodness, and Father of mercies:
and of thine own have we given thee; for there is nothing a man has but he has received from the Lord, and therefore can give nothing to him but his own, see Rom 11:35.

1Ch 29:13-14. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee — The more we do for God, the more we are indebted to him for the honour of being employed in his service, and for grace to enable us in any measure to serve him. Doth he therefore thank that servant? said Jesus. No: but that servant has a great deal of reason to thank him. Who am I, and what is my people? — David was the most honourable person, and Israel the most honourable people, then in the world; yet thus he speaks of himself and them, as utterly unworthy of the divine cognizance and favour. David now appeared very great in the eyes of men, presiding in an august assembly, appointing his successor, and making a noble present to the honour of God; and yet, being little and low in his own eyes, he asks, Who am I, O Lord! that we should be able to offer so willingly — That thou shouldest give us both riches to make such an offering, and a willing heart to offer them, both which are the gifts and fruits of thy grace and mercy to us. God works ill his people both to will and to do, and it is a great instance of the power of his grace in us to be able to do his work willingly. Of thine own have we given thee — We return only what we have received, and therefore only pay a debt, or rather, the small part of a debt due to thee. Thus we ought to give God all the glory of all the good that is at any time done by ourselves or others. Our own good works must not be the matter of our pride, nor the good works of others of our flattery, but both the matter of our praise; for certainly it is the greatest honour and pleasure in the world faithfully to serve God.
