Psalms 132:2-7

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.

⁷Later we said, “Let's go to the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem; let's worship there in front of the throne where he sits.”
