Psalms 132:11

Psa 132:11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

Ver. 11. The Lord hath sworn in truth ] The eternity of Israel cannot lie, 1 Samuel 15:29 , yet tendering our infirmity, he sweareth and sealeth to us.

Of the fruit of thy body ] David was excellent at making the utmost of a promise, at pressing and oppressing it, till he had expressed the sweetness out of it, Isaiah 66:11 . See how he improveth God’s promise, and worketh upon it, 1 Chronicles 17:23-26 . Solomon had learned to do the like.
