God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 8:25-29
25“Now, Lord God of Israel, keep your promise to my father David, your servant. You said, ‘You will never fail to have an heir sitting in front of me on the throne of Israel if your descendants are faithful to me as you have been faithful to me.’
26“So now, God of Israel, may the promise you made to my father David, your servant, come true.
27“Does God really live on earth? If heaven itself, the highest heaven, cannot hold you, then how can this temple that I have built?
28Nevertheless, my Lord God, please pay attention to my prayer for mercy. Listen to my cry for help as I pray to you today.
29Night and day may your eyes be on this temple, the place about which you said, ‘My name will be there.’ Listen to me as I pray toward this place.
