Psalmen 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.

Psalmen 132:10 In-Context

8 Sta op, HEERE! tot Uw rust, Gij en de ark Uwer sterkte!

9 Dat Uw priesters bekleed worden met gerechtigheid, en dat Uw gunstgenoten juichen.

10 Weer het aangezicht Uws Gezalfden niet af, om Davids, Uws knechts wil.

11 De HEERE heeft David de waarheid gezworen, waarvan Hij niet wijken zal, zeggende: Van de vrucht uws buiks zal Ik op uw troon zetten.

12 Indien uw zonen Mijn verbond zullen houden, en Mijn getuigenissen, die Ik hun leren zal; zo zullen ook hun zonen tot in eeuwigheid op uw troon zitten.
