For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

God's Two Dwelling Places

Commentators emphasize a profound paradox: God, the eternal and holy One, has two dwelling places. His first is the 'high and holy place' of heaven, but His second is the heart of the humble and contrite person. This reveals a God who is both infinitely majestic and intimately near, correcting any view of Him as distant or uninvolved in human affairs.
