23 and said, “O Lord, God of Israel, ^othere is no God like you, in heaven above or on earth beneath, ^pkeeping covenant and showing steadfast love to your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

27 “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, ^sheaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. ^yMay he not leave us or forsake us, 58 that he may ^zincline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his rules, which he commanded our fathers. 59 Let these words of mine, with which I have pleaded before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, and may he maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as each day requires, 60 that ^aall the peoples of the earth may know that ^bthe Lord is God; there is no other.
