Psalms 132:7
We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
132:7. We will go into his tabernacles. Having found the place where he dwells we will hasten thereto. He has many dwellings in the various courts of his house, and each of these will receive the reverence due: in each the priest will offer for us the appointed service; and our hearts will go where our bodied may not enter. David is not alone; he is represented as having sought for the ark with others, for so the word we implies; and now they are glad to attend him in his pilgrimage to the chosen shrine, saying “We found it … we will go.” Because these are the Lord’s courts we will resort to them.
We will worship at his footstool. The best ordered earthly house can be no more than the footstool of so great a King. His ark can only reveal the glories of his feet, according to the promise that he will make the place of his feet glorious: yet thither will we hasten with joy, in glad companionship, and there we will adore him. Where Jehovah is, there shall he be worshiped. It is well not only to go to the Lord’s house, but to worship there: we do but profane his tabernacles if we enter them for any other purpose.
Before leaving this verse let us note the ascent of this psalm of degrees—“we heard … we found … we will go … we will worship.”
