1 Kings 8:27-29

Lexham English Bible

²⁷ For will God really dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens could not contain you! How could^[a] this house that I have built? ²⁸ You must regard the prayer of your servant and his plea! O Yahweh my God, listen to the pleading and to the prayer that your servant is praying before you this day, ²⁹ so that your eyes will be open to this house night and day, to the place which you said, ‘My name will be there,’ to hear the prayer that your servant prays toward this place.
