Salmi 132:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 132:4

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to mine
eyelids.
] Not that he never would or did take any sleep till this thing was brought about he had so much at heart; but that he could not and would not suffer himself to sleep comfortably and quietly because of it. Aben Ezra interprets it of sleep at noon; the phrases express his great desire and solicitude to have this affair accomplished, and his eager and diligent pursuit of it; see ( Proverbs 6:4 ) ; of the eager desire of Christ to suffer and die for his people, that they might be brought near to God, and be his dwelling place, see ( Luke 12:50 ) ( 22:15 ) .

Salmi 132:4 In-Context

2 Come egli giurò al Signore, E fece voto al Possente di Giacobbe, dicendo:

3 Se io entro nel tabernacolo della mia casa, Se salgo sopra la lettiera del mio letto;

4 Se do alcun sonno agli occhi miei, O alcun sonnecchiare alle mie palpebre;

5 Infino a tanto che io abbia trovato un luogo al Signore, Degli abitacoli al Possente di Giacobbe.

6 Ecco, noi abbiamo udito che l’Arca era stata nella contrada Efratea; Poi la trovammo ne’ campi di Iaar.
