Psalm 132:5-7

Living Bible

^2-5 I couldn’t rest, I couldn’t sleep, thinking how I ought to build a permanent home for the Ark of the Lord,^[a] a Temple for the Mighty One of Israel. Then I vowed that I would do it; I made a solemn promise to the Lord.

⁶ First the Ark was in Ephrathah,^[b] then in the distant countryside of Jaar. ⁷ But now it will be settled in the Temple, in God’s permanent home here on earth. That is where we will go to worship him.^[c]
