Prophet’s Reading Plan: Ezekiel 32-33
Covenant Psalm
Read: Psalm 132
This
joyful Psalm speaks of God’s covenant with the house of David (2 Sam.
7:4-16). Most of the Psalm is expressing
trust and belief in these promises. The
writers pray that God will carry out His plans and purposes. It starts with a plea to the Lord to remember
David’s desire to find a dwelling place for the Ark of the Covenant (Ex.
25:10-22). Once the Ark finds its
resting place in the temple, the Psalm continues by reviewing the oath that God
made to David to preserve His dynasty. God
is unchangeable and He will not turn from His covenants. We know that this covenant was fulfilled in
Christ because Christ sits on the throne forever and ever. Jesus came from the line of David and through
Him comes blessing for Zion. Even today,
He is King of the Jews. The Lord chose
Zion, David captured it, Solomon built it and the Lord dwelt in it and He is
coming back to rebuild the Earth and dwell in Zion once again!
Overview:
Verses 1-7: David’s desire to build a house for

divine covenant and its promises
