Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 132:8

8 Arise , O LORD, into thy rest : thou, and the ark of thy strength .

i. e. Arise and come. One word put for two, as Gen. 43. 33. marvelled (i. e. marvelled looking) one at another; and v. 34. he took messes, i. e. he took and sent messes, as our Translation renders it. And this word is very proper in this place, because it was to be used by Gods appointment when the Ark was to be removed from one place to another, Numb. 10. 35. as now it was from the Tabernacle in Zion to the Temple in Moriah, upon which occasion this and the two following verses were used by Solomon, 2 Chron. 6. 41, 42.

Into thy resting place, the Temple so called Isa. 66. 1. where thou hast now a fixed habitation.

The seat of thy powerful and glorious presence, from whence thou dost put [illegible: 1+ letters]orth and manifest thy strength on the behalf of thy people when they desire and need it.
