Psalms 132:1-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. 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,

5. until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the strong one of Jacob."

6. Yes, we heard about it in Ephrathah;we found it 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.
