PSALM 132 THE ARGUMENT The penman of this Psalm was either,
1. David, when God had graciously declared his acceptance of David's desire to build a house for God. and his purpose of establishing the kingdom to David and his seed for ever: or,
2. Solomon, as may be gathered from the whole matter of the Psalm, which seems better to agree to him than to David; and particularly from Psalms 132:8-10, compared with 2 Chronicles 6:41,42, where we have the same words with no great alteration. David in prayer commendeth unto God the care he had for the ark, Psalms 132:1-7; with his prayer over it, Psalms 132:8-10. A rehearsal of God's oath and promises of the everlasting kingdom of Christ, Psalms 132:11-18. Remember David; either,
1. Thy covenant made with David; or rather,
2. David's eminent piety and zeal for thy service, amplified by the following clause. All his afflictions; all his sufferings for thy sake, all the solicitude of his mind, all his hard and wearisome labours for thy service and glory, and for provisions towards the building of thy temple, and for the establishment of thy people in peace and tranquillity, that so way might be made for that great work.
