¹⁷ Now, O God of Israel, let the words which you spoke to your servant, my father David, be confirmed.

¹⁸ But will God really dwell with man on the earth? Truly, the heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you! How much less this house which I have built! ¹⁹ But turn your face toward the prayer of your servant and to his plea for mercy. O Lord my God, listen to the cry and to the prayer that your servant offers before you.
