17 I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now have I seen with joy your people, that are present here, offer willingly to you.

I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart,.... Searchest it, and knowest it perfectly, whether what is done is from it:
and hast pleasure in uprightness; in what is done in sincerity and uprightness of heart:
as for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; for the truth of which he could appeal to the heart searching God:
and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee; he judged by what they did, and their manner of doing it, that it was done in the uprightness of their hearts also, as his were, which gave him sensible joy and pleasure.
Before God, who searches the heart and loves uprightness, David can declare that he has willingly given in uprightness of heart, and that the people also have, to his joy, shown equal willingness. כּל־אלּה, all the treasures enumerated (1-Chronicles 29:3-8). The plural הנּמצאוּ refers to עמּך, and the demonstrative ה stands for אשׁר as in 1-Chronicles 26:28.
