Let us go to His dwelling place
This phrase invites believers to actively seek the presence of God. The Hebrew word for "dwelling place" is "מִשְׁכָּן" (mishkan), which refers to a tabernacle or sanctuary. Historically, the tabernacle was the portable earthly dwelling place of Yahweh used by the Israelites during the Exodus. It symbolizes God's desire to dwell among His people. In a broader sense, this phrase encourages Christians to pursue a deeper relationship with God, recognizing that His presence is not confined to a physical location but is accessible through faith and worship.

let us worship at His footstool
The term "footstool" in Hebrew is "הֲדֹם" (hadom), which often signifies a place of submission and reverence. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a footstool was a symbol of subjugation and authority. Scripturally, it represents the earth as God's footstool (Isaiah 66:1), emphasizing His sovereignty over creation. This phrase calls believers to approach God with humility and adoration, acknowledging His majesty and lordship. Worship at His footstool is an act of surrender, recognizing that all creation is under His dominion and that true peace and purpose are found in submission to His will.

(7) We will.--Let us go, &c

Tabernacles.--Better, habitation, as in Psalm 132:5, where the same word is used. The plural occurs also in Psalm 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 Psalm 99:5.

Verse 7. - We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. The transfer is regarded as accomplished, and the worship as re-established, which had been intermitted while the ark was at Kirjath-jearim.
