Psalm 132:1-12Common English Bible (CEB) Psalm 132 A pilgrimage song. 132 Lord, remember David—     all the ways he suffered 2     and how he swore to the Lord,         how he promised the strong one of Jacob: 3     “I won’t enter my house,     won’t get into my bed. 4     I won’t let my eyes close,     won’t let my eyelids sleep,                  a dwelling place for the strong one of Jacob.” 6 Yes, we heard about it in Ephrathah;     we found it[a] in the fields of Jaar. 7 Let’s enter God’s dwelling place;     let’s worship at the place God rests his feet! 8 Get up, Lord, go to your residence—     you and your powerful covenant chest! 9 Let your priests be dressed in righteousness;     let your faithful shout out with joy! 10 And for the sake of your servant David,     do not reject your anointed one. 11 The Lord swore to David     a true promise that God won’t take back:         “I will put one of your own children on your throne. 12 And if your children keep my covenant         and the laws that I will teach them,     then their children too will rule on your throne forever.” Footnotes: Psalm 132:6 It may refer to the covenant chest (132:8b).
