The question: This phrase ‘But will God indeed dwell on the earth’ has no explanation because there is no continuity between this and the next verse ‘And You shall turn toward Your servant's prayer.’ But will God indeed dwell on the earth – This is adding another argument to what I said in explanation of Tehillim 89 that the Holy Temple and kingship of the house of David are each causes of one another. Gd chose to rest His Presence on the house which was chosen through the merit of David, and after He chose Zion and established His Presence there He once again exerted His providence to maintain the house of David in the merit of the Temple, as it says “Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place…For the sake of David Your servant…” (Tehillim 132:8-10) This teaches that David’s merit caused the Divine Presence to dwell in the Temple. Then it says further on “…also their sons will sit on your throne forever. For the Lord has chosen Zion…” (Tehillim 132:12-13) which teaches that Gd saw fit to sustain the kingship of the house of David because He had chosen Zion. This is what our verse means – please affirm Your word which You spoke to David because ‘God will indeed dwell on the earth’. From this moment it is real and believable that Gd will have an established dwelling place on earth, and this is dependent on the kingship of the house of David. ... Behold the heaven – Indeed it must be clear that one should not think that Gd’s established dwelling on earth is as the masses imagine it, that He settles and encamps in a particular place or dwelling. This is a meaningless thought because ‘Behold the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You,’ as He is the place of the world and the world is not His place. All the more so He does not dwell in a house built by the hands of man. Rather His dwelling on the earth is a euphemism for the fact that His providence is fixed there, to hear prayers and attend personally to all of the needs of His people. This is the meaning of the next verses “And You shall turn toward Your servant's prayer…That Your eyes may be open…” (Melachim I 8:28-29)
