Psalm 132:1-10

New International Version

² He swore an oath to the Lord,
    he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:^(C)
3 “I will not enter my house^(D)
    or go to my bed,
⁴ I will allow no sleep to my eyes
    or slumber to my eyelids,
⁵ till I find a place^(E) for the Lord,
    a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶ We heard it in Ephrathah,^(F)
    we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:^[a](G)
7 “Let us go to his dwelling place,^(H)
    let us worship at his footstool,^(I) saying,
⁸ ‘Arise, Lord,^(J) and come to your resting place,
    you and the ark of your might.
⁹ May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;^(K)
    may your faithful people^(L) sing for joy.’”

¹⁰ For the sake of your servant David,
    do not reject your anointed one.
