Context of Psalms 78:69
67Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 68But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. 70He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheep folds: 71From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 69And he built his sanctuary - His holy place; that is, his tabernacle.
