Psalms 132

A psalm recalling David's vow and God's choice of Zion.

Psalms 132 - David's Oath and Zion Chosen

Psalm 132 retells David's determined oath not to rest "until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob," tying his devotion to the search for the ark's resting place. It expands the personal trust of Psalms 131 into a longer meditation on covenant and worship.


Как хорошо и как приятно жить братьям вместе!

Это - как драгоценный елей на голове, стекающий на бороду, бороду Ааронову, стекающий на края одежды его;

как роса Ермонская, сходящая на горы Сионские, ибо там заповедал Господь благословение и жизнь на веки.

In response, the LORD swears an oath of His own regarding David's throne and declares He has chosen Zion "for his habitation," promising to clothe her priests with salvation, a theme paralleled in <a href="/bible/russynodal/psalms/chapter-99/5">Psalms 99:5</a>.
