‏ Psalms 132:4-5

v. 4: The passage also remembers how the people of Israel looked for the ark. They heard of it at Ephratah (Shiloh, in Ephraim) and later found it in the fields of the wood (Kirjath-jearim) (1 Samuel 7:2; 1 Chronicles 13:6 ^a). Solomon’s building of the temple fulfilled the hopes of the people, giving them a permanent place to worship God.

v. 5: The people responded by saying, We will go into his tabernacle: we will worship at his footstool (Psalm 132:7 ^b). Now that there was a set place for God’s presence, the people promised to gather and honor Him there. When God’s people have a place to worship, they will come together to praise Him.
