Psalms 132:7

Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool." — Psalms 132:7 (ASV)

We will go into his tabernacles - His tents, or the fixed resting place prepared for the ark. This is evidently language supposed to have been used on bringing up the ark into its place in Jerusalem: language such as they may be supposed to have sung or recited on that occasion.

We will worship at his footstool - See the notes at Psalm 99:5. The meaning is, the footstool of God: let us bow humbly at his feet. The language denotes profound adoration. It expresses the feelings of those who bore the ark to its assigned place.
