Psalm 132
1. David in his prayer commends unto God the reverent care he had for the ark
8. His prayer at the removing of the ark
11. With a repetition of God's promises














The LORD swore an oath
This phrase emphasizes the solemnity and unchangeable nature of God's promise. In Hebrew, the word for "swore" is "נִשְׁבַּע" (nishba), which conveys a binding commitment. The act of swearing an oath by the LORD Himself underscores His faithfulness and the certainty of His word. In the ancient Near Eastern context, oaths were serious and inviolable, often sealed with a sacrifice or a solemn ritual. Here, it signifies God's unwavering commitment to His covenant with David.

to David
David, the second king of Israel, is a central figure in the biblical narrative. His life and reign are chronicled in the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. David is often seen as a man after God's own heart, despite his flaws. The promise to David is foundational for the messianic hope in the Bible, as it establishes his lineage as the royal line through which the Messiah would come. This covenant with David is a continuation of God's redemptive plan, which began with Abraham.

a promise He will not revoke
The Hebrew word for "promise" here is "אֱמֶת" (emet), which also means truth or faithfulness. This highlights the reliability and steadfastness of God's word. The phrase "will not revoke" assures us of the permanence of God's covenant. In a world where human promises often fail, God's promises are unbreakable. This assurance is a source of hope and confidence for believers, reminding them of God's unchanging nature.

One of your descendants
The Hebrew term "מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ" (mi-pri bitnecha) literally means "from the fruit of your body," indicating a biological descendant. This promise points directly to the Davidic line, which is significant in the biblical narrative as it leads to the birth of Jesus Christ, the ultimate fulfillment of this promise. The genealogies in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke trace Jesus' lineage back to David, affirming Him as the rightful heir to David's throne.

I will place on your throne
The throne symbolizes authority, kingship, and governance. In the context of ancient Israel, the throne of David represented not just political power but also spiritual leadership under God's guidance. The promise of placing a descendant on David's throne is not merely about political succession but about the establishment of an eternal kingdom. This is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose reign is eternal and whose kingdom is not of this world, as He reigns in the hearts of believers and will one day return to establish His kingdom fully.

(11) In truth.--This is a possible rendering, but it is more impressive to render, Jehovah hath sworn unto David. It is a true oath; He will not depart from it. (Comp. Psalm 110:4.) The substance of the oath which follows is taken from 2 Samuel 7.

Verses 11-18. - God's oath of promise to David. This passage is based mainly on 2 Samuel 7:11-16, but contains likewise expressions which seem taken from other psalms, as Psalm 48:1, 2; Psalm 68:16; Psalm 89:3, 4; Psalm 147:14. The chief promise is that of a special "fruit of his body" to be "set upon his throne" (ver. 11) and to reign in Zion forever (vers. 13, 14). Verse 11. - The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David (comp. Psalm 89:3, 35). He will not turn from it. So it is said of another Divine oath, "The Lord sware, and will not repent" (Psalm 110:4). Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne (see 2 Samuel 7:12; Acts 2:30).
