Psalms 132:6-14 New English Translation (NET)

6. Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah,we found it in the territory of Jaar.

7. Let us go to his dwelling place!Let us worship before his footstool!

8. Ascend, O Lord, to your resting place,you and the ark of your strength!

9. May your priests be clothed with integrity!May your loyal followers shout for joy!

10. For the sake of David, your servant,do not reject your chosen king!

11. The Lord made a reliable promise to David;he will not go back on his word.He said, “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.

12. If your sons keep my covenantand the rules I teach them,their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”

13. Certainly the Lord has chosen Zion;he decided to make it his home.

14. He said, “This will be my resting place forever;I will live here, for I have chosen it.
