Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 29 of 1 Chronicles. David blesses God, recognizing that all wealth and power come from him. The prayer contains a central theological idea: the people merely return to God what they have already received from his hand. Generosity therefore loses the character of human merit and becomes a grateful response to divine provision.

Reichtum und Ehre ist vor dir; Du herrschest über alles; in deiner Hand steht Kraft und Macht; in deiner Hand steht es, jedermann groß und stark zu machen.
Las riquezas y la gloria están delante de ti, y tú señoreas a todos: y en tu mano está la potencia y la fortaleza, y en tu mano la grandeza y fuerza de todas las cosas.
La riqueza y la honra proceden de ti, y tú gobiernas sobre todo. En tu mano están la fuerza y el poder; en tu mano está engrandecer y fortalecer a todos.
C'est de toi que viennent la richesse et la gloire, c'est toi qui domines sur tout, c'est dans ta main que sont la force et la puissance, et c'est ta main qui a le pouvoir d'agrandir et d'affermir toutes choses.
Le ricchezze ancora, e la gloria, vengono da te, e tu signoreggi sopra ogni cosa; e in man tua è forza e potenza; in man tua ancora è d’ingrandire, e di fortificar chi che sia.
E riquezas e glória vêm de diante de ti, e tu dominas sobre tudo, e na tua mão há força e poder; e na tua mão está o engrandecer e o dar força a tudo.
豐富尊榮都從你而來,你也治理萬物。在你手裏有大能大力,你的手使人尊大強盛。
