Context — David’s Prayer of Blessing
9And the people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given to the LORD freely and wholeheartedly. And King David also rejoiced greatly.
10Then David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
11Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.
12Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all. 13Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on 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
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 29:11
Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:11
Thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power, i.e. thou art great and powerful, &c. As head above all; as the sovereign Lord and Owner of all persons and things.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:11
1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.Ver. 11. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory.] David beginneth somewhat like as the Lord’ s Prayer endeth: and here we have a pattern of a larger prayer, as there of a short. All these excellencies and all others are in God originally, essentially, eminently, transcendently. Of him we are to think as of one not to be thought of. And thou art exalted as head above all.] Tu superemines omnibus veluti omnium caput.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:11
(11) Thine, O Lord, is the greatness.—The point of 1 Chronicles 29:11-12 seems to be that David arrogates nothing to himself; but, with the humility of genuine greatness, ascribes everything to God. As if he said, “The greatness of my kingdom, the prowess of my warriors, the splendour and majesty of my throne, are thine, for thine are all things.” Greatness.—Gĕ ?dullâh, a late word. (Comp. Psalms 71:21; Psalms 145:3.) Power.—Strictly, manly strength; then valour, prowess (Psalms 21:13). (Comp. Exodus 15:3.) The glory.—Ornament, beauty, splendour (Isaiah 3:18; Isaiah 13:19; Isaiah 46:13; Psalms 96:6). Majesty.—See Psalms 21:6; Psalms 96:6. Victory.—Glory, splendour (1 Samuel 15:29). “Victory” is the meaning of the word in Syriac, and so the LXX. and Vulg. render here. But the Syriac version has “beauty.” or “glory.” With the whole ascription, comp. Revelation 4:11; Revelation 5:12; Revelation 7:12.
All that is in the heavens . . . is thine.—The pronoun (lâk) seems to have fallen out before the following: “Thine (lĕ ?kâ) is the kingdom.” (Comp. for the idea Psalms 89:11; Psalms 24:1.) The kingdom.—The universal sovereignty (Psalms 96:10; Psalms 97:1; Psalms 22:28). Thou art exalted as head above all.—Lit., And the self-exalted over all as head (art thou). (Comp. Numbers 16:3.) Here also the pronoun (’âttâh) may have been lost at the end. Ewald, however, explains the apparent participle as an Aramaized infinitive: “And the being exalted over all as head is thine.” (Comp. Isaiah 24:21 for the supremacy of God over all powers of heaven and earth.) As head.—Comp. Deuteronomy 28:13; Psalms 18:43; Colossians 2:10.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:11
Verse 11. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness] This verse is thus paraphrased by the Targum: "Thine, O Lord, is the magnificence; for thou hast created the world by thy great power, and by thy might hast led our fathers out of Egypt, and with great signs hast caused them to pass through the Red Sea. Thou hast appeared gloriously on Mount Sinai, with troops of angels, in giving law to thy people. Thou hast gained the victory over Amalek; over Sihon and Og, kings of Canaan. By the splendour of thy majesty thou hast caused the sun to stand still on Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of Ajalon, until thy people, the house of Israel, were avenged of their enemies. All things that are in heaven and earth are the work of thy hands, and thou rulest over and sustainest whatsoever is in the heavens and in the earth. Thine, O Lord, is the kingdom in the firmament; and thou art exalted above the heavenly angels, and over all who are constituted rulers upon earth."
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 29:11
10–19. The Blessing of David 11. thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all] Render, Thine, is the kingdom, O LORD, and thine it is to be exalted as head over all.
