1 Chronicles 29:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 29:11

Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory,
and the victory, and the majesty
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:

thine is the kingdom, O Lord;
of nature and Providence; he has the sole dominion over all creatures, and the sovereign disposal of all things:

and thou art exalted as head above all;
men on earth, and angels in heaven.

1 Chronicles 29:11 In-Context

9 The people were filled with joy, because they had given willingly - wholeheartedly they had given willingly to ADONAI; and David the king too was completely filled with joy,
10 as he blessed ADONAI before the entire community: "Blessed be you, ADONAI, the God of Isra'el our father, forever and ever.
11 Yours, ADONAI, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory and the majesty; for everything in heaven and on earth is yours. The kingdom is yours, ADONAI; and you are exalted as head over all.
12 Riches and honor come from you, you rule everything, in your hand is power and strength, you have the capacity to make great and to give strength to all.
13 Therefore, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name.
