Context of Psalms 132:7
5until I find a place to build a house for the Lord, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.” 6We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar. Let us go to the sanctuary of the Lord; let us worship at the footstool of his throne. 8Arise, O Lord, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power. 9May your priests be clothed in godliness; may your loyal servants sing for joy.
