O LORD our God
This phrase acknowledges the personal and covenantal relationship between God and His people. The Hebrew word for "LORD" is "Yahweh," the sacred name of God, emphasizing His eternal and self-existent nature. "Our God" signifies a collective belonging and devotion, highlighting the communal aspect of worship and identity among the Israelites. This phrase sets the tone for a prayerful acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and intimate involvement in the lives of His people.

from Your hand
The imagery of God's "hand" is a powerful biblical metaphor for His power, provision, and authority. In Hebrew, "hand" (yad) often signifies strength and capability. This phrase underscores the belief that all blessings and resources originate from God, emphasizing His role as the ultimate provider. It reflects a deep trust in God's ability to supply all needs, a theme prevalent throughout Scripture.

comes all this abundance
The word "abundance" in Hebrew is "hamon," which can mean a multitude or great quantity. This phrase acknowledges the vastness of God's provision. Historically, this abundance refers to the wealth and resources gathered for the construction of the Temple, a monumental project in Israel's history. It serves as a reminder of God's generosity and the overflowing nature of His blessings when His people are aligned with His purposes.

that we have provided
This phrase highlights human participation in God's work. The Hebrew root "kun" implies preparation or establishment. It suggests that while the resources are from God, there is a human responsibility to steward and prepare them for His purposes. This partnership between divine provision and human action is a recurring theme in Scripture, encouraging believers to actively engage in God's work.

to build You a house
The "house" refers to the Temple, a central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. In Hebrew, "house" (bayit) can also mean household or family, symbolizing a place of belonging and community. The construction of the Temple was a significant event, representing a physical and spiritual center for Israel. It underscores the importance of creating spaces dedicated to worship and the presence of God.

for Your Holy Name
God's "Holy Name" signifies His character, reputation, and the reverence due to Him. In Hebrew, "name" (shem) often represents one's essence or identity. The holiness of God's name reflects His purity, otherness, and the call for His people to honor Him in all they do. This phrase emphasizes that the Temple was not just a building but a testament to God's glory and a place where His name would be revered.

and all of it belongs to You
This concluding phrase reaffirms the theme of divine ownership. Everything provided and prepared for the Temple is ultimately God's. The Hebrew concept of ownership here is profound, reminding believers that all they possess is entrusted to them by God. It calls for humility and recognition of God's ultimate authority over all creation, encouraging a life of stewardship and gratitude.

(16) All this store.--Strictly, multitude; and so multitude of goods, riches (Psalm 37:16).

Cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own.--From thine own hand it is, and thine is the whole. The whole verse is a clearer expression of the second half of 1Chronicles 29:14. (Comp. Psalm 104:28.)
