Context — David’s Prayer of Blessing
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.
14But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from You, and from Your own hand we have given to You. 15For we are foreigners and strangers in Your presence, as were all our forefathers. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 29:13
Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. That he that was so great, and so much above them, should take notice of them, and bestow so many great and good things on them.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 29:13
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.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:13
1 Chronicles 29:13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.Ver. 13. And praise thy glorious name.] With our hearts, lips, and offerings, even the best of our substance, professing that we could esteem thee yet more and better if it were in our power. A thankful man is worth his weight in gold; he giveth the glory of all that he enjoyeth to God alone, like as solid bodies reflect the sun’ s heat.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:13
(13) Now therefore, our God, we thank thee.—And now, our God, we are thanking thee, and praising (participles in the Hebrew). Môdîm, “thanking,” occurs nowhere else, though the verb is common in other forms. Thy glorious name.—The name of thy glory: here only. (Comp. Isaiah 63:14, and Psalms 72:19.)
