6 In Bethlehem we heard about the Covenant Box,and we found it in the fields of Jearim.
7 We said, “Let us go to the Lord's house;let us worship before his throne.”
8 Come to the Temple, Lord, with the Covenant Box,the symbol of your power,and stay here forever.
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.”
