Psalm 132:1-8

Psalm 132 1A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all his self-denial.

2He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3“I will not enter my house or go to my bed,

4I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

5till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar: Or heard of it in Ephrathah, / we found it in the fields of Jearim. (See 1 Chron. 13:5,6) (And no quotation marks around verses 7-9)

7“Let us go to his dwelling place, let us worship at his footstool, saying,

8‘Arise, LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
