Psalms 132:4-12

⁴I will not go to sleep, I will not take a nap,

⁵until I find a place where the Lord can live, a home for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶In Ephrathah we received information about the Ark of Agreement, and we found it in fields near Jaar.

⁷Let's go to the place where the Lord lives and bow down at his feet in worship.

⁸Come, Lord, and enter your home, together with your Ark of your power.

⁹May your priests wear goodness like clothing; may your faithful people shout for joy.

¹⁰For the sake of your servant David, don't reject the king you have chosen.

¹¹The Lord made a solemn promise to David, one he will never cancel—“I will put one of your descendants on your throne.

¹²If your sons keep to my agreement and my laws that I will teach them, then their sons will always occupy your throne.”
