Psalm 132:1–9

1 Lord, remember David

and all the hardships he endured,s

2 and how he swore an oath to the Lord,

making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:t

3 “I will not enter my house

or get into my bed,

4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep

or my eyelids to slumberu

5 until I find a place for the Lord,

a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”v

6 We heard of the ark in Ephrathah;A,w

we found it in the fields of Jaar.B,x

7 Let’s go to his dwelling place;

let’s worship at his footstool.y

8 Rise up, Lord, come to your resting place,

you and your powerful ark.z

9 May your priests be clothed with righteousness,

and may your faithful people shout for joy.aa
