1 Chronicles 29:13

Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — David and the community address God immediately after affirming His absolute control over all wealth and strength (1 Chronicles 29:12) and before acknowledging their own unworthiness to offer such generosity (1 Chronicles 29:14).

The words — מוֹדִים (mo.Dim) = giving thanks; תִּפְאַרְתֶּךָ (tif'ar.te.kha) = splendor of your.

The thread — The pattern of thanking God for His goodness and praising His name appears in Psalms 105:1 and Psalms 106:1, while the posture of gratitude for divine provision echoes in 2 Corinthians 9:15.

Why it lands — The text demands a direct acknowledgment that all resources originate from God and require a corresponding response of verbal thanksgiving and praise directed to His name.
