Psalm Ps. 132. The theme of this royal psalm is God’s covenant with David’s house to establish the dynasty for the good of the people and, eventually, of the whole world (2 Sam. 7:4–16). The psalm expresses confidence in these promises and asks the Lord to carry out his purpose (Ps. 132:1, 8–9). As a Song of Ascents, the psalm recalls how David’s dynasty is to ensure the stability of the nation, especially of Jerusalem (compare Psalm 122).
Ps. 132:1–5 The psalm opens with a request that God will remember (see note on 25:6–7) all that David did to prepare the temple (see 2 Sam. 7:2; 1 Chron. 22:2–19). The prayer expresses the feeling that such sacrifice and hard work ought not be wasted.
Ps. 132:6–7 The pilgrims come from various villages in Judah to worship at his footstool (see 1 Chron. 28:2; Ps. 99:5).
Ps. 132:8–10 The worshipers pray that God will be present in his chosen resting place. Imagining the scene in Jerusalem, the worshipers pray that Israel will be true to its calling. do not turn away the face of your anointed one. The worshipers pray that God would continue showing favor to David’s heirs, so that Israel would remain a secure home for the faithful.
Ps. 132:11–18 swore to David. This promise is God’s answer to the prayer of vv. 8–10. God promised to preserve the dynasty, and expects the individual heirs of David to be faithful to the covenant.
Ps. 132:18 These words, sung during the exile, declare by faith that God would again fulfill his promises and raise up a new David.
