6Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah,
we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7"Let us go to his dwelling place;
let us worship at his footstool!"
8Arise, O Yahweh, and go to your resting place,
you and the ark of your might.
9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness,
and let your saints shout for joy.
10For your servant David's sake do not turn away
the face of your anointed one.
11Yahweh swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back:
"One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne.
12If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies which I shall teach them,
their sons also for ever shall sit upon your throne."
13For Yahweh has chosen Zion;
he has desired it for his habitation:
14"This is my resting place for ever;
here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15I will abundantly bless her provisions;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16Her priests I will clothe with salvation,
and her saints will shout for joy.
17There I will make a horn to sprout for David;
I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
18His enemies I will clothe with shame,
but upon himself his crown will shed its luster."
