PSALM 132
THE LORD HAS CHOSEN ZION
As a psalm of ascent, the Israelites would recite this psalm on their way to Jerusalem to visit the temple.
This psalm is a reminder of the promise David made to God, to build Him a dwelling place for the ark of the covenant, ultimately fulfilled by Solomon. While this psalm ultimately praises God, it also praises David, saying that his crown will shine while his enemies are clothed in shame.
Although this psalm may appear as though it praises David more than God, it is helpful to remember that the enemies of Israel are also God’s enemies. It honors God to see His people with a righteous leader that fears Him!
Psalm 132:13 ESV - "For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place:"
