Psalms 132:1-8

1Lord, remember David and all the hardships he endured,

2and how he swore an oath to the Lord, making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

4I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber

5until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6We heard of the ark in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

7Let’s go to his dwelling place; let’s worship at his footstool.

8Rise up, Lord, come to your resting place, you and your powerful ark.
