1O LORD, remember on behalf of David
all the hardships he endured,
2how he swore an oath to the LORD,
and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“I will not enter my house
or get into my bed,
4I will not give sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
5until I find a place for the LORD,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah;
we found it in the fields of Jaar.
— Psalm 132:1-6
