Psalms 131:2 - Psalms 132:8

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother; my soul is even as a weaned child.

3 Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and forever.

Psalms 132
Intro: David's covenant -- God's promises to his people. (A Song of degrees.)

1 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions;

2 How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

5 Until I find out a place for the Lord, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah; we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 We will go into his tabernacles, we will worship at his footstool.

8 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
