Psalm 132 cultivates the memory and nurtures the hope that lead to mature obedience. It protects us from a religion that is ignorant of the ways of God and so keeps us prey to every fear that thrusts itself upon us. It guards us from a religion run riot with fantasies and nightmares because it has gotten disassociated from the promises of God. It develops a strong sense of continuity with the past and a surging sense of exploration into the future.
