1 Re 8:25-29

Listen to 1 Re 8:25-29
25 Ora dunque, o Eterno, Dio d’Israele, mantieni al tuo servo Davide, mio padre, la promessa che gli facesti, dicendo: Non ti mancherà mai qualcuno che segga nel mio cospetto sul trono d’Israele, purché i tuoi figliuoli veglino sulla loro condotta, e camminino in mia presenza, come tu hai camminato.
26 Or dunque, o Dio d’Israele, s’avveri la parola che dicesti al tuo servo Davide mio padre!
27 Ma è egli proprio vero che Dio abiti sulla terra? Ecco, i cieli e i cieli de’ cieli non ti posson contenere; quanto meno questa casa che io ho costruita!
28 Nondimeno, o Eterno, Dio mio, abbi riguardo alla preghiera del tuo servo e alla sua supplicazione, ascoltando il grido e la preghiera che il tuo servo ti rivolge quest’oggi.
29 Siano gli occhi tuoi notte e giorno aperti su questa casa, sul luogo di cui dicesti: Quivi sarĂ  il mio nome! Ascolta la preghiera che il tuo servo farĂ  rivolto a questo luogo!
