Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David - He has made a gracious promise, confirmed by an oath, which we may plead in our present necessities. That promise was made "in truth," that is, sincerely - so that it will certainly be carried out - so that we may appeal to God, on the ground of his faithfulness, to keep his word.
He will not turn from it - We may be certain that he will carry it out. We may appeal to him on the basis of that promise with the utmost confidence.
Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne - Margin, as in Hebrew, "of thy belly." The throne would descend to his posterity, Sa2 7:12; see the notes at Psa 89:3-4. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The "for the sake of David" is here set forth in detail. אמת in Psa 132:11 is not the accusative of the object, but an adverbial accusative. The first member of the verse closes with לדוד, which has the distinctive Pazer, which is preceded by Legarmeh as a sub-distinctive; then follows at the head of the second member אמת with Zinnor, then לא־ישׁוּב ממּנּה with Olewejored and its conjunctive Galgal, which regularly precedes after the sub-distinctive Zinnor. The suffix of ממּנּה refers to that which was affirmed by oath, as in Jer 4:28. Lineal descendants of David will Jahve place on the throne (לכסּא like לראשׁי in Psa 21:4) to him, i.e., so that they shall follow his as possessors of the throne. David's children shall for ever (which has been finally fulfilled in Christ) sit לכסּא to him (cf. Jer 9:5; Jer 36:7). Thus has Jahve promised, and expects in return from the sons of David the observance of His Law. Instead of עדתי זוּ it is pointed עדתי זו. In Hahn's edition עדתי has Mercha in the penult. (cf. the retreat of the tone in זה אדני, Dan 10:17), and in Baer's edition the still better attested reading Mahpach instead of the counter-tone Metheg, and Mercha on the ultima. It is not plural with a singular suffix (cf. Deu 28:59, Ges. 91, 3), but, as זו = זאת indicates, the singular for עדוּתי, like תּחנתי for תּחנוּתי in Kg2 6:8; and signifies the revelation of God as an attestation of His will. אלמּדם has Mercha mahpach., זו Rebia parvum, and עדתי Mercha; and according to the interpunction it would have to be rendered: "and My self-attestation there" (vid., on Psa 9:16), but zow is relative: My self-attestation (revelation), which I teach them. The divine words extend to the end of Psa 132:12. The hypotheses with אם, as the fulfilment in history shows, were conditions of the continuity of the Davidic succession; not, however - because human unfaithfulness does not annul the faithfulness of God - of the endlessness of the Davidic throne. In Psa 132:13 the poet states the ground of such promissory mercy. It is based on the universal mercy of the election of Jerusalem. אוּהּ has He mappic. like ענּה in Deu 22:29, or the stroke of Raphe (Ew. 247, d), although the suffix is not absolutely necessary. In the following strophe the purport of the election of Jerusalem is also unfolded in Jahve's own words. |

| The Lord hath sworn - As David sware to the Lord, so the Lord swears to David that he will establish his throne, and place his posterity on it: and that he had respect to David's Antitype, we learn from St. Peter, Act 2:30 (note), where see the note. This verse with the following refers to the spiritual David, and the Christian Church. |
3 I have made [03772] a covenant [01285] with my chosen [0972], I have sworn [07650] unto David [01732] my servant [05650],
4 Thy seed [02233] will I establish [03559] for [05704] ever [05769], and build up [01129] thy throne [03678] to all [01755] generations [01755]. Selah [05542].
12 And when thy days [03117] be fulfilled [04390], and thou shalt sleep [07901] with thy fathers [01], I will set up [06965] thy seed [02233] after [0310] thee, which shall proceed [03318] out of thy bowels [04578], and I will establish [03559] his kingdom [04467].
29 Then the man [0376] that lay [07901] with her shall give [05414] unto the damsel's [05291] father [01] fifty [02572] shekels of silver [03701], and she shall be his wife [0802]; because he hath humbled [06031] her, he may [03201] not put her away [07971] all his days [03117].
13 For the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977] Zion [06726]; he hath desired [0183] it for his habitation [04186].
12 If thy children [01121] will keep [08104] my covenant [01285] and my testimony [05713] that [02090] [02097] I shall teach [03925] them, their children [01121] shall also sit [03427] upon thy throne [03678] for evermore [05703].
16 The LORD [03068] is known [03045] by the judgment [04941] which he executeth [06213]: the wicked [07563] is snared [05367] in the work [06467] of his own hands [03709]. Higgaion [01902]. Selah [05542].
8 Then the king [04428] of Syria [0758] warred [03898] against Israel [03478], and took counsel [03289] with his servants [05650], saying [0559], In such [06423] and such [0492] a place [04725] shall be my camp [08466].
59 Then the LORD [03068] will make [06381] thy plagues [04347] wonderful [06381], and the plagues [04347] of thy seed [02233], even great [01419] plagues [04347], and of long continuance [0539], and sore [07451] sicknesses [02483], and of long continuance [0539].
17 For how [01963] can [03201] the servant [05650] of this my lord [0113] talk [01696] with this my lord [0113]? for as for me, straightway [06258] there remained [05975] no strength [03581] in me, neither is there breath [05397] left [07604] in me.
7 It may be they will present [05307] their supplication [08467] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and will return [07725] every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870]: for great [01419] is the anger [0639] and the fury [02534] that the LORD [03068] hath pronounced [01696] against this people [05971].
5 And they will deceive [02048] every one [0376] his neighbour [07453], and will not speak [01696] the truth [0571]: they have taught [03925] their tongue [03956] to speak [01696] lies [08267], and weary [03811] themselves to commit iniquity [05753].
4 He asked [07592] life [02416] of thee, and thou gavest [05414] it him, even length [0753] of days [03117] for ever [05769] and ever [05703].
28 For this shall the earth [0776] mourn [056], and the heavens [08064] above [04605] be black [06937]: because I have spoken [01696] it, I have purposed [02161] it, and will not repent [05162], neither will I turn back [07725] from it.
11 The LORD [03068] hath sworn [07650] in truth [0571] unto David [01732]; he will not turn [07725] from it; Of the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990] will I set [07896] upon thy throne [03678].
30 Therefore [3767] being [5225] a prophet [4396], and [2532] knowing [1492] that [3754] God [2316] had sworn [3660] with an oath [3727] to him [846], that of [1537] the fruit [2590] of his [846] loins [3751], according to [2596] the flesh [4561], he would raise up [450] Christ [5547] to sit [2523] on [1909] his [846] throne [2362];
