(A)The Lord is in his holy temple;
    the Lord's (B)throne is in heaven;
    his eyes see, his eyelids (C)test the children of man.

The Humble and Contrite in Spirit

66 (A)Thus says the Lord:
(B)“Heaven is my throne,
    and the earth is my footstool;
what is the house that you would build for me,
    and what is the place of my rest?
(C)All these things my hand has made,
    and so all these things came to be,
declares the Lord.
(D)But this is the one to whom I will look:
    he who is humble and contrite in spirit
    and trembles at my word.

44 “Our fathers had (A)the tent of witness in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses (B)directed him to make it, according to the pattern that he had seen. 45 Our fathers in turn (C)brought it in with Joshua when they (D)dispossessed the nations (E)that God drove out before our fathers. So it was (F)until the days of David, 46 (G)who found favor in the sight of God and (H)asked to find a dwelling place for (I)the God of Jacob.[a] 47 But it was (J)Solomon who built a house for him. 48 (K)Yet the Most High does not dwell (L)in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,

49 (M)“‘Heaven is my throne,
    (N)and the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord,
    or what is the place of my rest?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?’

51 (O)“You stiff-necked people, (P)uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. (Q)As your fathers did, so do you. 52 (R)Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of (S)the Righteous One, (T)whom you have now betrayed and murdered, 53 you who received the law (U)as delivered by angels and (V)did not keep it.”
