Psalms 132:11-18 - Exposition

God's oath of promise to David. This passage is based mainly on 2 Samuel 7:11-16 , but contains likewise expressions which seem taken from other psalms, as Psalms 48:1 , Psalms 48:2 ; Psalms 68:16 ; Psalms 89:3 , Psalms 89:4 ; Psalms 147:14 . The chief promise is that of a special "fruit of his body" to be "set upon his throne" ( Psalms 147:11 ) and to reign in Zion forever ( Psalms 147:13 , Psalms 147:14 ).
