Psalms 132:2-11

2and how he made a vow to the Lord, and swore an oath to the powerful ruler of Jacob.

3He said, “I will not enter my own home, 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 fine dwelling place for the powerful ruler of Jacob.”

6Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah, we found it in the territory of Jaar.

7Let us go to his dwelling place! Let us worship before his footstool!

8Ascend, O Lord, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!

9May your priests be clothed with integrity! May your loyal followers shout for joy!

10For the sake of David, your servant, do not reject your chosen king!

11The Lord made a reliable promise to David; he will not go back on his word. He said, “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.
