| While the psalmist was speaking of God’s choosing and desiring Zion in v. 13, God suddenly intervened to continue the psalmist’s speaking in vv. 14-18. This is the wonderful way in which the Psalms were written.

| Psalm 132 mentions seven items related to the overcomers: resting with God, dwelling with God (v. 14), food for satisfaction (v. 15), glorious clothing (v. 16), the horn of victory (v. 17), the enlightening lamp (v. 17), and the shining crown (v. 18). These items are at the top of the church life. They portray the situation of the overcomers in Zion, the highest peak of God’s mountain.
