1 Kings 8:27–30

27 But will God indeed live on earth?

Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain you,

much less this temple I have built.l

28 ListenB to your servant’s prayer and his petition,m

Lord my God,

so that you may hear the cry and the prayer

that your servant prays before you today,

29 so that your eyes may watch over this temple night and day,n

toward the place where you said,

“My name will be there,”o

and so that you may hear the prayer

that your servant prays toward this place.

30 Hear the petition of your servantp

and your people Israel,

which they pray toward this place.q

May you hear in your dwelling place in heaven.

May you hear and forgive.
