Hi,
Preface: King David longed to build the Beit haMikdash, and was told that he could not. See Shemuel II 7, Melachim I 5, Divrei haYamim I 7 and 22 for more information.
"There is no generation without scorners. What would the lawless of [King David's] generation do? They would go to David's windows and say, 'David, when will the Beit haMikdash be built? When will we go to the house of Gd?'
"He would respond, 'Even though they intend to anger me, may I be rewarded for I am happy in my heart.' [As Tehillim 122:1 says,] 'I am glad when they say to me: Let us go to the house of Gd.'"
(Talmud Yerushalmi Berachot 2:1)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
