‏ Psalms 132:11-14

Verse 11. The Lord hath sworn] As David sware to the Lord, so the Lord swears to David, that he will establish his throne, and place his posterity on it: and that he had respect to David's Antitype, we learn from St. Peter, Ac 2:30, where see the note. This verse with the following refers to the spiritual David, and the Christian Church.

Verse 12. If thy children will keep my covenant] This was conditional with respect to the posterity of David. They have been driven from the throne, because they did not keep the Lord's covenant, but the true David is on the throne, and his posterity forms the genuine Israelites.

Verse 13. The Lord hath chosen Zion] Therefore neither Shiloh nor Kirjath-jearim is the place of his rest.

Verse 14. This is my rest for ever] Here the Christian Church is most indubitably meant. This is God's place for ever. After this there never will be another dispensation; Christianity closes and completes all communications from heaven to earth. God has nothing greater to give to mankind on this side heaven; nor does man need any thing better; nor is his nature capable of any thing more excellent.
