Psalm PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 132:1. The theme of this royal psalm is God’s covenant with David’s house to establish the dynasty for the good of the people and, eventually, of the whole world (2 Samuel 7:4). The psalm expresses confidence in these promises and asks the Lord to carry out his purpose (Psalms 132:1, Psalms 132:8). As a Song of Solomon 1:1 of Ascents, the psalm recalls how David’s dynasty is to ensure the stability of the nation, especially of Jerusalem (compare Psalms 122:1).
