Context Summary
Psalm 132:6–10 refers to the ark of the covenant (Exodus 25:10–16). After being recovered from the Philistines (1 Samuel 6:21) it was kept for many years at Kiriath-jearim (1 Samuel 7:1–2), also known as Jaar. The reference to Ephrathah is unclear; it may be a poetic reference to the region around Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). The prayer asks for the Lord to bring His presence to the people and righteous priests at the site of the ark.

Chapter Summary
David vowed to create a permanent home for the Lord. This involved the ark of the covenant, which was eventually placed in Solomon's temple (1 Kings 8:1). God vowed that David's descendants would be the kings of Israel. The Lord also chose Jerusalem—sometimes referred to as "Zion"—as the symbolic seat of His power. From David's line, the Lord would produce an "anointed one" (Daniel 9:25–26), also called "Messiah."
