Psalms 132:8

“Arise, O Lord, into thy rest, etc.] Which words, and what follow, were used by Solomon at the dedication of the temple; and with which he concluded his prayer, (<140641>2 Chronicles 6:41,42); and so may be a request to the Lord, that he would take up his residence in the temple built for him, where he would have a firm and stable place of rest; who, from the time of Israel’s coming out of Egypt, had not dwelt in a house; but had walked in a tent or tabernacle from place to place, (<100606>2 Samuel 6:6); and that he would take up his abode in his church, the antitype of the temple, and rest in his love there, and cause his people to rest also; (see <19D213>Psalm 132:13,14); thou, and the ark…”

“132:8-10 These verses are a quotation from Solomon’s prayer at the dedication of the Temple (2 Chr 6:41-42).”
