| 3"Surely I will not enter my house, Nor lie on my bed; | 3"I will not enter my house, or lie down on my bed, |
| 4I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids, | 4or let myself go to sleep or even take a nap, |
| 5Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." | 5until I locate a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." |
