Psalm 132:8-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. Lord, rise up and come to your resting place. Come in together with the ark. It's the sign of your power.

9. May your priests put on godliness as if it were their clothes. May your faithful people sing with joy."

10. In honor of your servant David, don't turn your back on your anointed king.

11. The Lord took an oath and made a promise to David. It is a firm promise that he will never break. He said, "After you die, I will place one of your own sons on your throne.

12. If your sons keep my covenant and the laws I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."

13. The Lord has chosen Zion. That's the place where he wants to live.

14. He has said, "This will be my resting place for ever and ever. Here I will sit on my throne, because that's what I want.
