⁷ Let’s go to ·the Lord’s house [^Lhis dwelling].
    Let’s worship at his footstool [^Cthe Ark].
⁸ Rise, Lord, and come to your resting place;
    come with the Ark that shows your strength.

    May your ·people [saints; loyal ones] sing for joy.

¹⁰ For the sake of your servant David,
    do not ·reject [^Lturn from the face of] your ·appointed [anointed] king.
¹¹ The Lord ·made a promise [swore] to David,
    a sure promise that he will not take back [2 Sam. 7:12–16, 28].
He promised, “I will ·make one of your descendants
    rule as king after you [^Lset on your throne from the fruit of your womb; Acts 2:30].
¹² If your sons ·keep [observe; guard] my ·agreement [covenant; treaty]
    and the ·rules [decrees; testimonies] that I teach them,
then their sons after them will ·rule [^Lsit]
    on your throne forever and ever.”

¹³ The Lord has chosen ·Jerusalem [^LZion; ^Cthe location of the Temple];
    he ·wants [desires] it for his home.
¹⁴ He says, “This is my resting place forever.
    Here is where I ·want to stay [^Lwill sit/reside because I desire it].
¹⁵ I will bless her with ·plenty [provisions];
    I will ·fill [satisfy] her poor with ·food [bread].
¹⁶ I will ·cover [^Lclothe] her priests with ·salvation [victory],
    and ·those who worship me [^Lher saints/loyal ones] will really sing for joy.

¹⁷ “I will ·make a king come from the family of [^Lcause a horn to sprout up for; ^Can animal’s horn symbolizes strength] David [Luke 1:69–70].
    I will ·provide my appointed one descendants to rule after him [^Lprepare a lamp for my anointed king; 2 Sam. 21:17].
¹⁸ I will ·cover [^Lclothe] his enemies with shame,
    but his crown will shine.”
