New English Translation
1 Kings 8:27-30
27“God does not really live on the earth! Look, if the sky and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this temple I have built!
28But respond favorably to your servant’s prayer and his request for help, O Lord my God. Answer the desperate prayer your servant is presenting to you today.
29Night and day may you watch over this temple, the place where you promised you would live. May you answer your servant’s prayer for this place.
30Respond to the request of your servant and your people Israel for this place. Hear from inside your heavenly dwelling place and respond favorably.
