Psalm 132

David and Zion Chosen

A song of ascents.

¹Lord, remember David
and all the hardships he endured,^(A)
²and how he swore an oath to the Lord,
making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:^(B)
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^(C)
⁵until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”^(D)

⁶We heard of the ark in Ephrathah;^[a]^(E)
we found it in the fields of Jaar.^[b]^(F)
⁷Let’s go to his dwelling place;
let’s worship at his footstool.^(G)
