Psalm 132

Psalm 132:11
The LORD has sword to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
"Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.
Is saying that God has sworn something, and that He won't turn back form it, being redundant?  God is the definition of truth, so if He says something, it's automatically true.  Therefore, if He swears something, it's going to happen.

I guess the one reason that you would say all this, and it's somewhat covered in the next verse, is that there are often conditions involved.  We have to do our parts, or it doesn't count.  Also, God does sometimes test us by saying one thing, then allowing us to "persuade" Him to do something different.
