Context — David’s Prayer of Blessing
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.
16O LORD our God, from Your hand comes all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy Name, and all of it belongs to You. 17I know, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness. All these things I have given willingly and with an upright heart, and now I have seen Your people who are present here giving joyfully and willingly to You.Cross References

1 Chronicles 29:15 Summary
[This verse reminds us that our time on earth is short and we are not permanent residents here, as it says in 1 Chronicles 29:15, 'we are foreigners and strangers in Your presence'. Our lives are like a shadow, fleeting and temporary, and without God, we have no true hope, but with Him, we have a future and a home, as seen in Psalm 39:7 and Philippians 3:20. This truth should encourage us to live with an eternal perspective, giving generously and acknowledging God as the source of all we have, as expressed in 1 Corinthians 4:7.]
Frequently Asked Questions

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 29:15
For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers,.... For though they were in possession of the land of Canaan, yet they held it not in their own right, but as the Lord's,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 29:15
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 29:15
These words may contain a reason, either, 1. Of the first clause of , Who am I &c., i.e. what mean and contemptible creatures are we, and how unworthy of so high a favour! for, saith he here, we, I and my people, as it is , are strangers, &c, poor pilgrims, who bring nothing into the world, and pass hastily through it, and can carry nothing with us out of it. Or rather, 2. Of the last clause of that 14th verse, of thine own, &c. For the land which we possess is thine, not ours; we are not the proprietors or perpetual possessors of it, but only thy tenants: and as our fathers once were mere strangers in it, even with or before men, ; so we at this day are no better with or before thee, having no absolute right and title in it, but only to travel through it, and sojourn in it for that short time that we live in the world. And this the argument seems to be borrowed from , where this is give as a reason why the inheritances of the land of Canaan could not be sold for ever, but only till the jubilee; for, saith God, the land is mine, as to dominion and propriety, for ye were (or for, or but you are) only strangers and sojourners with me. There is none abiding: we only give to thee what we must shortly leave, and what we cannot keep to ourselves; and therefore it is a great favour that thou wilt accept such offerings; or, and therefore we are not perpetual possessors of this land, and the fruits of it, but only pilgrims and passengers through it.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:15
1 Chronicles 29:15 For we [are] strangers before thee, and sojourners, as [were] all our fathers: our days on the earth [are] as a shadow, and [there is] none abiding.Ver. 15. For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners.] How, then, can we do better than deposit what we have in thy hands, and lay up treasure in heaven by laying it (lavishing, some may think it) out upon thy holy house, and so laying hold on eternal life; for here, alas, we have no abiding place, and, as strangers, we are tenuis admodum fortunae, little worth. As were all our fathers.] Who freely acknowledged it, and carried themselves accordingly. Our days on the earth are as a shadow.] A shadow of smoke, a dream of a shadow, as the heathen could say. A shadow seemeth to be something, when indeed it is nothing; so is man’ s life: and the longer this shadow seemeth to be, the nearer their sun is to setting, who put far away from them the thoughts of death. And there is none abiding.] Heb., Expectation of long life, or good days on earth. καπνουσκια. - AEschl. σκιαςοναρ. - Pindar.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:15
(15) For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners.—Psalms 39:12. Our days on the earth are as a (the) shadow.—Job 8:9; Psalms 144:4. And there is none abiding.—Rather, and there is no hope; no outlook, no assured future, no hope of permanence. What is the ground for this plaintive turn in the thought? Merely, it would seem, to emphasise what has just been said. We, as creatures of a day, can have no abiding and absolute possession. Our good things are lent to us for a season only. As our fathers passed away, so shall we.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:15
Verse 15. For we are strangers] We have here neither right nor property. And sojourners] Lodging as it were for a night, in the mansion of another. As were all our fathers] These were, as we are supported by thy bounty, and tenants at will to thee. Our days on the earth are as a shadow] They are continually declining, fading, and passing away. This is the place of our sojourning, and here we have no substantial, permanent residence. There is none abiding.] However we may wish to settle and remain in this state of things, it is impossible, because every earthly form is passing swiftly away, all is in a state of revolution and decay, and there is no abiding, מקוה mikveh, no expectation, that we shall be exempt from those changes and chances to which our fathers were subjected. "As the shadow of a bird flying in the air [ avir] of heaven, such are our days upon the earth; nor is there any hope to any son of man that he shall live for ever." - Targum.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 29:15
15. strangers before thee, and sojourners] David describes himself and his people not as strangers to God, but as strangers dwelling before God. In ancient states foreigners were sometimes allowed to reside in the capital under the immediate protection of the king or of the heads of the state; cp. 1 Samuel 22:3-4; 1 Samuel 27:3; 2 Samuel 15:19; cp. also the position of the aliens at Athens. David appeals to God on the ground that Israel is immediately under God’s protection. Cp. Psalms 39:12. none abiding] R.V. no abiding, i.e. no continuance.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:15
15. None abiding — Hebrew, no hope; that is, no confidence or certain assurance of continuing long on earth.
