10 Per amor di Davide tuo servitore, non respingere la faccia del tuo unto.

Salmi 132:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 132:10

For thy servant David's sake
Not for any virtues, or excellencies or merits, of David, literally understood; rather for the sake of the covenant and promises made with him: but for the sake of the antitypical David, the Messiah, the son of David according to the flesh, and the servant of the Lord as Mediator; for whose sake, and in whose name, prayers and supplications are made and presented;

turn not away the face of thine anointed;
not David; rather Solomon, as the Targum expresses it; so Jarchi: but any of the Lord's anointed, every Christian, or believer in Christ, is an anointed one; and has received the unction from the Holy One, the oil of true grace. And the request is, that God would not turn such away from him, and cause them to depart from his throne of grace, ashamed and disappointed; but hear and answer their petitions, for his Son's sake. In ( 2 Chronicles 6:42 ) ; it is added, "remember the mercies of David thy servant"; the kind and good things promised to him, and perform them.

Salmi 132:10 In-Context

8 Lèvati, o Eterno, vieni al luogo del tuo riposo, tu e l’Arca della tua forza.

9 I tuoi sacerdoti siano rivestiti di giustizia, e giubilino i tuoi fedeli.

10 Per amor di Davide tuo servitore, non respingere la faccia del tuo unto.

11 L’Eterno ha fatto a Davide questo giuramento di verità, e non lo revocherà: Io metterò sul tuo trono un frutto delle tue viscere.

12 Se i tuoi figliuoli osserveranno il mio patto e la mia testimonianza che insegnerò loro, anche i loro figliuoli sederanno sul tuo trono in perpetuo.
