Psalms 132:1-6

¹Yahweh, do not forget King David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!

²He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped.

³He said, “I will not go home, I will not rest on my bed,

⁴I will not sleep at all

⁵until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob worshiped.”

⁶In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We went and found it in the fields of Jearim city, and we took it to Jerusalem.
