Psalms 132:8

The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 132:8

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Arise, O Lord, into thy rest. Another transfer, but into the place of final "rest." The words are a quotation from :41, and were uttered originally by Solomon at the close of his long dedication prayer.

Thou, and the ark of thy strength. The quotation continues. God is regarded as entering the temple, and taking possession of it, in and with the ark.
