Solomon's Prayer To Yahweh

²⁶ "Now therefore, God of Israel, may your promise that you made to your servant David my father be fulfilled" ²⁷ and yet, will God truly reside on earth? Look! Neither the sky nor the highest heaven can contain you! How much less this Temple that I have built! ²⁸ Pay attention to the prayer of your servant and to his request, LORD my God, and listen to the cry and prayer that your servant is praying in your presence today.
