6 We heard it in Ephrathah,we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:
7 ‘Let us go to his dwelling-place,let us worship at his footstool, saying,
8 “Arise, Lord, and come to your resting place,you and the ark of your might.
9 May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;may your faithful people sing for joy.” ’
10 For the sake of your servant David,do not reject your anointed one.
11 The Lord swore an oath to David,a sure oath he will not revoke:‘One of your own descendantsI will place on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenantand the statutes I teach them,then their sons shall siton your throne for ever and ever.’
