yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength, I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God; for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.

I know that I am nothing. I am weak. So I will not brag about myself. But I will brag about my God. In his strength I can do all things. We have done many great miracles in this land. We will praise his name forever.

Paraphrase

“I know I’m nothing. I’m weak. I won’t brag about myself—I’ll brag about my God. In his strength, I can do anything. Look at all the incredible miracles we’ve seen here. We’ll praise his name forever for that.”
