God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 8:27-30
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.
30Hear the plea for mercy that your people Israel and I pray toward this place. Hear us ⌞when we pray⌟ to heaven, the place where you live. Hear and forgive.
