Solomon reigned in days of peace, and God gave him rest on every side: Good News Translation handles these lines well. It represents the text well without sounding repetitious.

That he might build a house for his name and prepare a sanctuary to stand for ever: Here house and sanctuary both refer to the Temple. Good News Translation simply calls it that. His name stands for the Lord himself, and Good News Translation translates it this way by rendering these lines as “so that he could build for the Lord a Temple which would stand forever.”
