Ps. 132: Ascent of Invitation

Psalm 132:13 "For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling:"

David loved God. David wanted to create a temple, a dwelling place for God. Due to David's lot in life as a warrior, this task wasn't for him, as God wanted to separate that from his temple. So devoted to this ideal, David wouldn't even sleep until God had a place to be among the people of Israel.

The temple is a place where people come from all around to pay tribute and worship God, to meet him. Those who follow God will be blessed, and those who don't...well...humiliation.
