Psalms132:3

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up to my bed .

This and the following clauses are not to be understood strictly and properly, as if he would never come into his house or bed till this was done, which is confuted by the history, 2 Sam. 11. 2. but figuratively, as an hyperbolical expression, such as are usual both in Scripture and in all other Authors, to signifie his passionate desire of doing this work, which was so earnest, that neither his house nor bed nor sleep could give him any content till this work was done or in some forwardness.
