Psalm 132:6-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 “We have heard of it in Ephrathah;[a]
we have found it in the fields of Jaar.
7 Let us enter his dwelling;
let us worship at his footstool.”(A)
8 “Arise, Lord, come to your resting place,(B)
you and your mighty ark.
9 Your priests will be clothed with justice;
your devout will shout for joy.”

do not reject your anointed.
