So now, LORD God of Israel, may your promise to your servant David come true.
18
But how could God possibly live on earth with people? If heaven, even the highest heaven, can't contain you, how can this temple that I have built contain you?
19
LORD, my God, listen to your servant's prayer and request, and hear the cry and prayer that I your servant pray to you.
20
Constantly watch over this temple, the place where you promised to put your name, and listen to the prayer your servant is praying concerning this place.
21
Listen to the request of your servant and your people Israel when they pray concerning this place. Listen from your heavenly dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive!
