“Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like^(C) you in heaven above or on earth below—you who keep your covenant of love^(D) with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way. ²⁴ You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.

²⁷ “But will God really dwell^(A) on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven,^(B) cannot contain^(C) you. How much less this temple I have built! ²⁸ Yet give attention to your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy, Lord my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day. ²⁹ May your eyes be open^(D) toward^(E) this temple night and day, this place of which you said, ‘My Name^(F) shall be there,’ so that you will hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place. ³⁰ Hear the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray^(G) toward this place. Hear^(H) from heaven, your dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive.^(I)
