Psalms 132:2-11

2He made a special promise to the Lord. He promised you, the Mighty One of Jacob.

3He said, ‘I will not go into my house or get into my bed;

4I will not sleep even for a moment,

5until I find a house for the Lord. Yes, the Mighty One of Jacob needs a proper home.’

6Listen! We heard the news at Ephrathah. We found God's Covenant Box in the fields of Jaar.

7We will go to the Lord's home! We will worship him on his throne!

8Lord, come now and stay here, in your home! Come with the Covenant Box that shows your great power.

9May your priests serve you in a good way. Cause your faithful people to shout with joy!

10Remember your servant, King David. Do not turn away from your chosen king.

11The Lord made a strong promise to David. He will not change what he has promised to do. The Lord said, ‘I will put one of your sons on your throne to rule as king.
