1 This is what the Lord says:

Heaven  * is my throne,  *

and earth is my footstool.  *

Where could you possibly build a house for me?

And where would my resting place be?  *

2 My hand made all these things,

and so they all came into being.

This is the  Lord’s declaration.

I will look favorably on this kind of person:

one who is humble,  * submissive  *  in spirit,  *

and trembles at my word.
