This passage is instruction for the items that are to be made for the worship place if I am reading this correctly. It is very detailed in what they should use and what each pieces features should be. Although I don't understand the significance of it and why it is so important for them to be so ornate. It does remind me of some of the things found in Catholic church when we were growing up. The colors and items used, what the alter looked like, the robes the priest wears and things like that.
The psalm is prefaced with "a wedding song", although I do not know who is marrying or what the purpose is. It does speak of God's blessing and halfway thru speaks of a woman marrying a king and that she will be praised for generations. I am not sure who they are speaking of.

I'm not sure there is much more to say than what you already have. This passage was just very instructive and I imagine that is all we are supposed to see in it. The Bible I use shows pictures of the Ark and the candle holder and it is actually a menorah. It seems that many different religions have taken pieces of this and kept some of the OT items.
There really was no indication about who the wedding was for. It's fitting that it's a love song for today, of all days.
