8 Come to the Temple, Lord, with the Covenant Box,the symbol of your power,and stay here for ever.
9 May your priests do always what is right;may your people shout for joy!
10 You made a promise to your servant David;do not reject your chosen king, Lord.
11 You made a solemn promise to David —a promise you will not take back:“I will make one of your sons king,and he will rule after you.
12 If your sons are true to my covenantand to the commands I give them,their sons, also, will succeed you for all time as kings.”
13 The Lord has chosen Zion;he wants to make it his home:
14 “This is where I will live for ever;this is where I want to rule.
