³ “I will not enter my house [1] or get into my bed, [2]

⁴ I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber ⓒ

⁵ until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” ⓓ

⁶ We heard of the ark in Ephrathah; [3] ⓔ we found it in the fields of Jaar. [4] ⓕ

⁷ Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool. ⓖ
