For your servant David's sake turn not away the face of your anointed.
All Commentaries on Psalms 132:10 Go To Psalms 132
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Sake. What confidence are we not taught to place in the merits of the saints! The captives remind God of the virtues of David and Solomon, and use their expressions to move him to show mercy, and to restore the temple to its ancient splendour; (Calmet) or rather, (Haydock) the consideration of David's being a man according to God's own heart, to whom various promises had been made for the establishment of his seed, is adduced to move the Lord to send the Messias speedily. (Worthington)
The future obstinacy of many Jews in rejecting him, was foreseen and deprecated. (St. Augustine)
Anointed. Do not cover me with confusion, (Calmet) or delay the promised Redeemer. (Haydock)
