Psalms 132:7

We will. — Let us go, &c

Tabernacles. — Better, habitation, as in Psalms 132:5, where the same word is used. The plural occurs also in Psalms 84:1. These words do not, as the last verse, recall an incident of the past, but express the determination of the present. The result of David’s project is that the present generation have a place of worship. It does not detract from this explanation to refer the psalm to post-exile times, and to the second Temple, since the fact of the existence of a temple at any time could be poetically ascribed to David.

His footstool. — See on Psalms 99:5.
