Psalms 132:13

For the Lord hath chosen Zion The permanence of the Davidic kingdom is based upon the Divine choice of Zion. Here, as in Psalms 78:67 ff., the choice of Zion is regarded as antecedent to the choice of David. To the community of the Restoration this thought must have been a comfort: they felt that Jehovah had returned to dwell in Zion, and this was a pledge to them that He would in some way fulfil His promises to the house of David. Cp. Zechariah 2:12.
