Psalm 132:1-7

New Living Translation

¹ Lord, remember David
    and all that he suffered.
² He made a solemn promise to the Lord.
    He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel,^[a]
3 “I will not go home;
    I will not let myself rest.
⁴ I will not let my eyes sleep
    nor close my eyelids in slumber
⁵ until I find a place to build a house for the Lord,
    a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.”

⁶ We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah;
    then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar.
⁷ Let us go to the sanctuary of the Lord;
    let us worship at the footstool of his throne.
