From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Because of thy temple at Jerusalem -The word rendered “temple” here properly means a palace; then, the abode of God considered as a king, or his residence as a king. It might, therefore, be applied either to the tabernacle or to the temple, erected as the special dwelling-place of God. As the word has so general a meaning, the passage here does not prove that the psalm was composed after Solomon’s temple was reared, for it may refer to the tabernacle that David set up for the ark on Mount Zion. SeePsalms 5:7, note;Psalms 65:4, note. At Jerusalem -literally, “upon,” or “above” Jerusalem.
