Psalm 132:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 Let your priests clothe themselves with righteousness,[a]
and let your saints shout for joy.
10 For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.[b]
11 The Lord swore this oath[c] to David,
an oath that he will not renounce:
“One of your own descendants
I will place on your throne.
Footnotes
- Psalm 132:9 Righteousness: here synonymous with salvation (see 2 Chr 6:41), signifying victory, blessing, and deliverance (see Pss 4:2; 22:32; 24:5). Saints: the People of God who should be faithful to him (see note on Ps 34:10)
- Psalm 132:10 The Messiah or Christ is the anointed one of the Lord (see Ps 2:2; 1 Sam 10:1), the descendant of David awaited by Israel.
- Psalm 132:11 Swore this oath: no oath is mentioned in 2 Sam 7. However, elsewhere God’s promise to David is called a covenant (see Pss 89:4, 29, 35, 40; 2 Sam 23:5; Isa 55:3), and covenants were made with an oath.
