A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
The writer, perhaps Solomon (compare Psa 132:8-9), after relating David's pious zeal for God's service, pleads for the fulfilment of the promise (Sa2 7:16), which, providing for a perpetuation of David's kingdom, involved that of God's right worship and the establishment of the greater and spiritual kingdom of David's greater Son. Of Him and His kingdom both the temple and its worship, and the kings and kingdom of Judah, were types. The congruity of such a topic with the tenor of this series of Psalms is obvious. (Psa. 132:1-18)

This vow is not elsewhere recorded. It expresses, in strong language, David's intense desire to see the establishment of God's worship as well as of His kingdom.

remember David--literally, "remember for David," that is, all his troubles and anxieties on the matter.

16 And thine house [01004] and thy kingdom [04467] shall be established [0539] for [05704] ever [05769] before [06440] thee: thy throne [03678] shall be established [03559] for [05704] ever [05769].
8 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068], into thy rest [04496]; thou, and the ark [0727] of thy strength [05797].
9 Let thy priests [03548] be clothed [03847] with righteousness [06664]; and let thy saints [02623] shout for joy [07442].
8 But the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to me, saying [0559], Thou hast shed [08210] blood [01818] abundantly [07230], and hast made [06213] great [01419] wars [04421]: thou shalt not build [01129] an house [01004] unto my name [08034], because thou hast shed [08210] much [07227] blood [01818] upon the earth [0776] in my sight [06440].
3 Thou knowest [03045] how that David [01732] my father [01] could [03201] not build [01129] an house [01004] unto the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430] for [06440] the wars [04421] which were about him on every side [05437], until the LORD [03068] put [05414] them under the soles [03709] of his feet [07272].
4 I will not give [05414] sleep [08153] to mine eyes [05869], or slumber [08572] to mine eyelids [06079],
2 The LORD [03050] is my strength [05797] and song [02176], and he is become my salvation [03444]: he [02088] is my God [0410], and I will prepare him an habitation [05115]; my father's [01] God [0430], and I will exalt [07311] him.
6 The lines [02256] are fallen [05307] unto me in pleasant [05273] places; yea, I have a goodly [08231] heritage [05159].
16 When I applied [05414] mine heart [03820] to know [03045] wisdom [02451], and to see [07200] the business [06045] that is done [06213] upon the earth [0776]: (for also there is that neither day [03117] nor night [03915] seeth [07200] sleep [08142] with his eyes [05869]:)
4 Give [05414] not sleep [08142] to thine eyes [05869], nor slumber [08572] to thine eyelids [06079].
40 Thus I was; in the day [03117] the drought [02721] consumed [0398] me, and the frost [07140] by night [03915]; and my sleep [08142] departed [05074] from mine eyes [05869].
1 And the Philistines [06430] took [03947] the ark [0727] of God [0430], and brought [0935] it from Ebenezer [072] unto Ashdod [0795].
2 When the Philistines [06430] took [03947] the ark [0727] of God [0430], they brought [0935] it into the house [01004] of Dagon [01712], and set [03322] it by [0681] Dagon [01712].
3 And when they of Ashdod [0796] arose early [07925] on the morrow [04283], behold, Dagon [01712] was fallen [05307] upon his face [06440] to the earth [0776] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]. And they took [03947] Dagon [01712], and set [07725] him in his place [04725] again [07725].
4 And when they arose early [07925] on the morrow [04283] morning [01242], behold, Dagon [01712] was fallen [05307] upon his face [06440] to the ground [0776] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]; and the head [07218] of Dagon [01712] and both [08147] the palms [03709] of his hands [03027] were cut off [03772] upon the threshold [04670]; only the stump of Dagon [01712] was left [07604] to him.
5 Therefore neither the priests [03548] of Dagon [01712], nor any that come [0935] into Dagon's [01712] house [01004], tread [01869] on the threshold [04670] of Dagon [01712] in Ashdod [0795] unto this day [03117].
6 But the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was heavy [03513] upon them of Ashdod [0796], and he destroyed [08074] them, and smote [05221] them with emerods [02914] [06076], even Ashdod [0795] and the coasts [01366] thereof.
7 And when the men [0582] of Ashdod [0795] saw [07200] that it was so, they said [0559], The ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] shall not abide [03427] with us: for his hand [03027] is sore [07185] upon us, and upon Dagon [01712] our god [0430].
8 They sent [07971] therefore and gathered [0622] all the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] unto them, and said [0559], What shall we do [06213] with the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478]? And they answered [0559], Let the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] be carried about [05437] unto Gath [01661]. And they carried [05437] the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] about [05437] thither.
9 And it was so, that, after [0310] they had carried it about [05437], the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was against the city [05892] with a very [03966] great [01419] destruction [04103]: and he smote [05221] the men [0582] of the city [05892], both small [06996] and great [01419], and they had emerods [02914] [06076] in their secret parts [08368].
10 Therefore they sent [07971] the ark [0727] of God [0430] to Ekron [06138]. And it came to pass, as the ark [0727] of God [0430] came [0935] to Ekron [06138], that the Ekronites [06139] cried out [02199], saying [0559], They have brought about [05437] the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] to us, to slay [04191] us and our people [05971].
11 So they sent [07971] and gathered together [0622] all the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430], and said [0559], Send away [07971] the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478], and let it go again [07725] to his own place [04725], that it slay [04191] us not, and our people [05971]: for there was a deadly [04194] destruction [04103] throughout all the city [05892]; the hand [03027] of God [0430] was very [03966] heavy [03513] there.
12 And the men [0582] that died [04191] not were smitten [05221] with the emerods [02914] [06076]: and the cry [07775] of the city [05892] went up [05927] to heaven [08064].
16 Thou shalt also suck [03243] the milk [02461] of the Gentiles [01471], and shalt suck [03243] the breast [07699] of kings [04428]: and thou shalt know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] am thy Saviour [03467] and thy Redeemer [01350], the mighty One [046] of Jacob [03290].
26 And I will feed [0398] them that oppress [03238] thee with their own flesh [01320]; and they shall be drunken [07937] with their own blood [01818], as with sweet wine [06071]: and all flesh [01320] shall know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] am thy Saviour [03467] and thy Redeemer [01350], the mighty One [046] of Jacob [03290].
24 Therefore saith [05002] the Lord [0113], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the mighty One [046] of Israel [03478], Ah [01945], I will ease [05162] me of mine adversaries [06862], and avenge [05358] me of mine enemies [0341]:
24 But his bow [07198] abode [03427] in strength [0386], and the arms [02220] of his hands [03027] were made strong [06339] by the hands [03027] of the mighty [046] God of Jacob [03290]; (from thence is the shepherd [07462], the stone [068] of Israel [03478]:)
2 I will behave myself wisely [07919] in a perfect [08549] way [01870]. O when wilt thou come [0935] unto me? I will walk [01980] within [07130] my house [01004] with a perfect [08537] heart [03824].
2 That the king [04428] said [0559] unto Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], See [07200] now, I dwell [03427] in an house [01004] of cedar [0730], but the ark [0727] of God [0430] dwelleth [03427] within [08432] curtains [03407].
17 And the king [04428] commanded [06680], and they brought [05265] great [01419] stones [068], costly [03368] stones [068], and hewed [01496] stones [068], to lay the foundation [03245] of the house [01004].
3 Incline [05186] your ear [0241], and come [03212] unto me: hear [08085], and your soul [05315] shall live [02421]; and I will make [03772] an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285] with you, even the sure [0539] mercies [02617] of David [01732].
42 O LORD [03068] God [0430], turn not away [07725] the face [06440] of thine anointed [04899]: remember [02142] the mercies [02617] of David [01732] thy servant [05650].
