The Hebrew word for "servant" is "עֶבֶד" (eved), which denotes a position of humility and dedication. David, as God's chosen king, was a servant in the sense of being devoted to God's will and purposes. Historically, David is seen as a central figure in Israel's history, a man after God's own heart (<a href="/1_samuel/13-14.htm">1 Samuel 13:14</a>). His legacy and the promises made to him are foundational to the Jewish understanding of God's faithfulness. The phrase underscores the importance of God's promises to David, which include the establishment of his throne forever (<a href="/2_samuel/7-16.htm">2 Samuel 7:16</a>). This covenant is a testament to God's unwavering commitment to His people, and it serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of divine promises.<p><b>do not reject</b><br />The plea "do not reject" is a heartfelt request for God's continued favor and presence. The Hebrew root "מָאַס" (ma'as) means to reject or despise. In the context of the psalm, it reflects a deep concern for maintaining the divine favor that was promised to David and his descendants. This plea is not just for the individual but for the continuation of God's plan through the Davidic line. Historically, Israel experienced times of rejection due to disobedience, but this plea is a reminder of the hope for restoration and continued blessing. It is a call for God to remember His covenant and to act in accordance with His steadfast love and mercy.<p><b>Your anointed one</b><br />The term "anointed one" is translated from the Hebrew "מָשִׁיחַ" (mashiach), which is the root for the word "Messiah." In the Old Testament, anointing was a symbolic act of consecration, setting someone apart for a special role or task, often associated with kingship or priesthood. David was anointed by Samuel as king (<a href="/1_samuel/16-13.htm">1 Samuel 16:13</a>), and this anointing signified God's choice and empowerment. In a broader theological context, the term "anointed one" points forward to the ultimate Anointed One, Jesus Christ, who is seen as the fulfillment of the Davidic covenant. The plea for God not to reject His anointed one is thus both a historical request for the preservation of the Davidic line and a prophetic anticipation of the coming Messiah. This highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan from David through to Christ, emphasizing the hope and assurance found in God's promises.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/132.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) The most obvious construction of this verse is that which makes it an intercession, on the ground of the Divine partiality for David, in behalf of another prince--one of his successors--by the people at large. In the original (<a href="/2_chronicles/6-42.htm" title="O LORD God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of David your servant.">2Chronicles 6:42</a>) it is of course Solomon who prays for himself; here (see <span class= "ital">Introduction</span>) we must naturally think of one of the Asmonean princes. The expression "to turn away the face," of a suppliant, instead of "turning from him," is borrowed from court etiquette.
