Psalms 132:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 132:6

4 I will ^anot give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,

5 Until I ^afind a place for the Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 Behold, we heard of it ^ain Ephrathah;
^bWe found it ^cin the fields of the woods.

7 Let us go into His tabernacle;
^aLet us worship at His footstool.

8 ^aArise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and ^bthe ark of Your strength.

9 Let Your priests ^abe clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.

10 For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your¹ Anointed.
