A Song of degrees.** Same as 120. App-67 . **LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . **remember David** = remember for David: i.e. remember to fulfill the promises made to him. **David.** Hezekiah remembers David, and puts Jehovah in remembrance of him. **all his afflictions** = all his being afflicted: all his anxious cares as to his work. The Temple was Heze-kiah's care, as it had been David's. Not "post-exilic". We see these anxieties from the beginning of his reign ([2 Samuel 7:1](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/1) , [1 Chronicles 13:3](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/13/3) ; 1Ch 21:18-30 ; [1 Chronicles 22:1](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/22/1) . The subjects of these last three Psalms are merged in blessing. **the mighty [God] of Jacob.** The mighty One to Whom Jacob vowed his vow. Title occurs outside the Pentateuch, only here, and [Genesis 49:24](../../../kjv/genesis/49/24) ; [Isaiah 1:24](../../../kjv/isaiah/1/24) (Israel); Psa 49:26 ; Psa 60:16 . Note the Figure of speech *Epistrophe* ( App-6 ) for emphasis in [Psalms 132:5](../../../kjv/psalms/132/5) . **I will not come.** Note the Figure of speech *Periphrases* ( App-6 ) in verses: [Psalms 132:4](../../../kjv/psalms/132/4) , [Psalms 132:5](../../../kjv/psalms/132/5) . **tabernacle** = tent. Hebrew. *'ohel.* App-40 . Compare [Acts 7:46](../../../kjv/acts/7/46) . **of.** Genitive of Apposition = "the Tent: i.e. my house". The emphasis = my own house. **bed** = couch. **An habitation.** Plural of Majesty. Hebrew. *mishkan* ( App-40 .) **heard:** i.e. while he was at Ephratah. David"s father was an Ephrathite (of Bethlehem-Ephratah. Compare [Genesis 35:19](../../../kjv/genesis/35/19) . David had "heard" of it as being in Shiloh. **it:** i.e. the Ark. in the fields of the wood = at Jaar's fields: i.e. Kirjath-jearim ([1 Chronicles 13:5](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/13/5) .) **tabernacles** = the plural of Majesty. His great habitation. Hebrew. *Mishkan.* App-40 . **footstool.** Figure of speech *Anthropopatheia.* App-6 . **Arise.** Figure of speech *Ellipsis* ( App-6 ) = [and will say] "Arise, O LORD". &c. This is what Solomon did say in [2 Chronicles 6:41](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/6/41) , see [Psalms 68:1](../../../kjv/psalms/68/1) (and note there), according to [Numbers 10:35](../../../kjv/numbers/10/35) .[Psalms 132:8-10](../../../kjv/psalms/132/8-10); [Psalms 132:8-10](../../../kjv/psalms/132/8-10) record what David said. **the ark of Thy strength.** Occurs only here and [2 Chronicles 6:41](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/6/41) . See notes on [Exodus 25:22](../../../kjv/exodus/25/22) and [1 Chronicles 13:3](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/13/3) . **saints** = favoured ones.shout for joy. That is exactly what they did. See the subscription of [Psalms 87](../../../kjv/psalms/87) and note there on "Mahalath-Leannoth". **Thine anointed** = i.e. David. Not "Zerubbabel", no such oath made to him. **hath sworn.** See [2 Samuel 7:8-17](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/8-17) . **in truth** = a truth. **Of the fruit of thy body.** This was what Hezekiah was concerned about; for he as yet had no son, and was in danger of death. Hence this pleading of Jehovah's oath to David. Quoted in [Acts 2:30](../../../kjv/acts/2/30) . **children** = sons. **My testimony.** Hebrew = "this My testimony". Some codices, with Aramaean, Septuagint, and Vulgate, read "[these] my testimonies" (plural) **children** = sons. **Zion.** See App-68 . **His habitation** = His dwelling. Figure of speech *Anthropopatheia* ( App-6 ). **her:** i.e. Zion's. **poor** = needy ones. **the horn of David** = a horn for David. **to bud:** i.e. to bring forth: viz. a son and heir. See App-67 . **lamp.** According to [Genesis 15:17](../../../kjv/genesis/15/17) ; and note there. **his crown:** i.e. his royal crown. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/132#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 132"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/132#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/132","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 132","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/132#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Title.
