Psalm 132:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 132:13

For the Lord hath chosen Zion
Not only to build upon it the temple in a literal sense, and for the place of his worship; but also for the seat of his majesty, and over which he has set his Son as King; and all this from the love he bears to Zion, which, in a figurative and spiritual sense, is his church; whom he has chosen to privileges, to grace and glory, and for his service and honour; see ( Psalms 78:67 Psalms 78:68 ) ;

he hath desired [it] for his habitation;
heaven is the habitation of his holiness and glory; Christ is his dwelling place, in whom all the fulness of the Godhead dwells bodily: yet his desire is to his church and people; his heart is set upon them, and upon their salvation; his delight is in them, and he takes pleasure in walking with them, and dwelling among them; they being built up an habitation for God through the Spirit; see ( Psalms 68:16 ) ( 2 Corinthians 6:16 ) ( Ephesians 2:22 ) .

Psalm 132:13 In-Context

11 Jehova hat dem David geschworen in Wahrheit, er wird nicht davon abweichen: "Von der Frucht deines Leibes will ich auf deinen Thron setzen.

12 Wenn deine Söhne meinen Bund und meine Zeugnisse bewahren, welche ich sie lehren werde, so sollen auch ihre Söhne auf deinem Throne sitzen immerdar."

13 Denn Jehova hat Zion erwählt, hat es begehrt zu seiner Wohnstätte:

14 Dies ist meine Ruhe immerdar; hier will ich wohnen, denn ich habe es begehrt.

15 Seine Speise will ich reichlich segnen, seine Armen mit Brot sättigen.
