But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

Verse 14 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.

Porque ¿quién soy yo y quién es mi pueblo para que tengamos fuerzas de dar voluntariamente de esta manera? Todo viene de ti, y de lo que recibimos de tu mano te hemos dado.
Car qui suis-je et qui est mon peuple, pour que nous puissions te faire volontairement ces offrandes? Tout vient de toi, et nous recevons de ta main ce que nous t'offrons.
Perciocchè chi son io, e chi è il mio popolo, che noi abbiamo il potere di offerirti volontariamente cotanto? ma il tutto viene da te, ed avendolo ricevuto di man tua, noi te lo rendiamo.
Porque quem sou eu, e quem é o meu povo, para que pudéssemos oferecer voluntariamente coisas semelhantes? Porque tudo vem de ti, e do que é teu to damos.
