Psalms 132:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 132:2

How he sware unto the Lord, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God]
of Jacob.
] Whom Jacob called so, ( Genesis 49:24 ) ; and to whom he vowed a vow, and is the first we read of that did make one, and it was concerning the house of God, ( Genesis 28:17 Genesis 28:20 Genesis 28:21 ) ; and who had an experience of the might and power of God in protecting and defending him from his brother Esau: of this oath and vow of David no mention is made elsewhere, but no doubt they were made; see ( Psalms 119:106 ) ; of the Messiah's swearing, though upon another account, to whom this may be applied, see ( Isaiah 45:23 ) ( Revelation 10:1 Revelation 10:2 Revelation 10:5 Revelation 10:6 ) .

Psalms 132:2 In-Context

1 The song of degrees. Lord, have thou mind on David; and of all his mildness. (Lord, remember David; and all his troubles and tribulations.)

2 As he swore to the Lord; he made a vow to [the] God of Jacob.

3 I shall not enter into the tabernacle of mine house; I shall not ascend into the bed of my resting.

4 I shall not give sleep to mine eyes; and napping to mine eyelids. (I shall not give sleep to my eyes; or napping to my eyelids.)

5 And rest to my temples, till I find a place to the Lord; a tabernacle to [the] God of Jacob. (Until I find a place for the Lord; yea, a dwelling place for the Mighty God of Jacob.)
