| 3“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, Or go up to the comfort of my bed; | 3“I will not enter my house or get into my bed, |
| 4I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids, | 4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, |
| 5Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” | 5until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” |

| 12If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.” | 12If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne.” |
