Psalm 132:6-9 Part 2 of 2

We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah;

    then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar.

Let us go to the sanctuary of the LORD;

    let us worship at the footstool of his throne.

Arise, O LORD, and enter your resting place

    along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.

May your priests be clothed in godliness;

    may your loyal servants sing for joy. 

     

Arise, O LORD, and enter your resting place along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.

2 Chronicles 6:41-42

"And now arise, O LORD God and enter your resting place,

    along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.

May your priests, O LORD God be clothed with salvation;

    may your loyal servants rejoice in your goodness.

O LORD God, do not reject the king you have anointed.

    Remember your unfailing love for your servant David."  

    (see all 2 Chronicles 5-7)

 

May your priests be clothed in godliness; may your loyal servants sing for joy.  

Zechariah 3:4-7  

So the angel said to the others standing there, "Take off his filthy clothes." And turning to Jeshua he said, "See, I have taken away your sins, and now I am giving you these fine new clothes."

    Then I said, "They should also place a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean priestly turban on his head and dressed him in new clothes while the angel of the LORD stood by.

    Then the angel of the LORD spoke very solemnly to Jeshua and said, "This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: If you follow my ways and carefully serve me, then you will be given authority over my Temple and its courtyards. I will let you walk among these others standing here."  

(see all Zechariah 3)

Malachi 3:3-4  

He will sit like a refiner of silver, burning away the dross. He will purify the Levites, refining them like gold and silver, so that they may once again offer acceptable sacrifices to the LORD. Then once more the LORD will accept the offerings brought to him by the people of Judah and Jerusalem, as he did in the past.  (see all Malachi 3)

Isaiah 61:10  

I am overwhelmed with joy in the LORD my God!

    For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation

    and draped me in a robe of righteousness.

I am like a bridegroom dressed for his wedding

    or a bride with her jewels.  (see all Isaiah 61)

Psalm 30:4  

Sing to the LORD, all you godly ones!

    Praise his holy name.  (see all Psalm 30)

Psalm 149:5  

Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them.

    Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.  (see all Psalm 149)
