Psalms 132:7

5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

9 May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
