When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.

I will praise Jehovah according to His righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.

There is a river whose streams cause rejoicing in the city of God, the consecrated place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Because you have made Jehovah, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place,

But You, Jehovah, are on high forever.

This sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the command by the word of the holy ones, in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills, and sets up over it the lowest of men.

This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:

And you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And you shall be fed with grass like oxen. And you shall be wet with dew of the heavens; and seven times shall pass over you until you know that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of men, and He gives it to whomever He desires.

And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to the heavens, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High. And I praised and honored Him who lives forever, whose dominion is an eternal dominion, and His rule from generation to generation.

They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a treacherous bow. Their rulers shall fall by the sword from the rage of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of Heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

Nor is He served with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

But will God truly dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house which I have built!

and the house which I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods;

but who is able to build Him a house, since the heavens and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a house, except to burn sacrifices with smoke before Him?

But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house which I have built.

Thus says Jehovah, Heaven is My throne, and earth My footstool. Where, then, is the house that you would build for Me? And where is the place of My rest?

For all those My hand has made, and all those exist, says Jehovah. But to this one will I have regard: To the lowly and contrite of spirit, and the one who trembles at My Word.
