Psalms 132:11

The Lord hath sworn&c. The answer to the prayer of Psalms 132:1 is given by recalling the promise to David which Jehovah has solemnly pledged Himself to fulfil. The narrative of 2 Samuel 7 does not speak of God's promise to David as confirmed by an oath; but, as in Psalms 89:3; Psalms 89:35; Psalms 89:49, it is the poet's mode of emphasising the solemnity and immutability of the Divine promise. Cp. Psalms 110:4; Isaiah 45:23.

in truth Or perhaps, truth, i.e. a promise which will surely be fulfilled, from which he will not swerve. Cp. 2 Samuel 7:28, "Thy words are truth."

Of the fruit&c. The contents of the oath. Cp. 2 Samuel 7:12.
