Jehovah (the High and Lofty One)

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Isaiah 57:15

The eternal, holy Lord lives in the highest place, yet He also dwells with anyone whose heart is humble and contrite. Christ later asked for the sacrifice of a broken heart and contrite spirit.
