Psalms 132:17

"I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy."

Key Reflection

This verse symbolizes God's provision of righteousness and joy to His devoted people, including their leaders and followers. The priests, representing spiritual leaders, are clothed with salvation, signifying their sanctification and efficacy in service; the saints' joyful shout symbolizes their profound gratitude and celebration of divine favor.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

There will I make thy horn of David to bud -The horn was an emblem of power; and then, of success or prosperity. See the notes atLuke 1:69. The word rendered “to bud” means to grow, or to shoot forth as a plant, or as grass grows; and then it may be applied to anything which shoots forth or grows. The allusion here would seem to be to a horn as it shoots forth on the head of an animal. So David would be endowed with growing strength; would have the means of defending himself against his enemies, and of securing victory. The language had no original reference to the Messiah, but it is not improperly applied to him (as springing from David) inLuke 1:69.
