Psalms 132:1-5
112O Lord, for David’s sake remember all his strenuous effort,
2and how he made a vow to the Lord, and swore an oath to the powerful ruler of Jacob.
3He said, “I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed.
4I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber,
5until I find a place for the Lord, a fine dwelling place for the powerful ruler of Jacob.”
Notes
- 1. Psalms 132:1 Psalm 132. The psalmist reminds God of David’s devotion and of his promises concerning David’s dynasty and Zion. ↩
- 2. Psalms 132:1 The precise significance of this title, which appears in Pss 120-134, is unclear. Perhaps worshipers recited these psalms when they ascended the road to Jerusalem to celebrate annual religious festivals. For a discussion of their background see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 219-21. ↩
