Salmene 132,2

1 Herre, husk David,
all hans lidelse;

hvordan han sverget til Herren
og lovet Jakobs Veldige:

3 «Jeg vil ikke gå inn i mitt hus,
eller legge meg på min seng;

4 jeg vil ikke tillate søvn for mine øyne,
eller slumring for mine øyelokk,

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
