Psalms 132:1-6

¹The song of degrees. Lord, have thou mind on David; and of all his mildness. (A song for steps of ascending. Lord, remember David; and all his troubles and tribulations.)

²As he swore to the Lord; he made a vow to the God of Jacob.

³I shall not enter into the tabernacle of mine house; I shall not ascend into the bed of my resting.

⁴I shall not give sleep to mine eyes; and napping to mine eyelids. (I shall not give sleep to my eyes; or napping to my eyelids.)

⁵And rest to my temples, till I find a place to the Lord; a tabernacle to the God of Jacob. (Until I find a place for the Lord; yea, a dwelling place for the Mighty God of Jacob.)

⁶Lo! we heard that (the) ark of (the) testament (is) in Ephratah, or Lo! we have heard (of) it in Ephratah; we found it in the fields of the wood. (Behold! we have heard that the Covenant Box is in Ephratah; we found it in the fields of Jaar, (or of Jearim).)
