1 *Thus says the Lord:

*"Heaven is my throne,

and the earth is my footstool;

what is the house that you would build for me,

and what is the place of my rest?

2 *All these things my hand has made,

and so all these things came to be,

declares the Lord.

*But this is the one to whom I will look:

he who is humble and contrite in spirit

and trembles at my word.
