Psalms 132:8
6 We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7 Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
9 May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.
10 For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
