Psalms 132:5-13 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the strong one of Jacob."

6. Yes, we heard about it in Ephrathah;we found it in the fields of Jaar.

7. Let’s enter God’s dwelling place;let’s worship at the place God rests his feet!

8. Get up, Lord, go to your residence—you and your powerful covenant chest!

9. Let your priests be dressed in righteousness;let your faithful shout out with joy!

10. And for the sake of your servant David,do not reject your anointed one.

11. The Lord swore to Davida true promise that God won’t take back:"I will put one of your own children on your throne.

12. And if your children keep my covenantand the laws that I will teach them,then their children too will rule on your throne forever."

13. Because the Lord chose Zion;he wanted it for his home.
