Psalm 132
The 132nd Psalm (after the Greek count of the Septuagint , which is also used by the Latin Vulgate , the 131st Psalm) is a Biblical psalm from the fifth book of the Psalter . Like all psalms from Psalm 120 through Psalm 134 , the first verse describes it as a pilgrimage song. The term translated in this way probably indicates "steps", which is often referred to the steps to the temple . Based on this, the interpretation follows that these psalms were sung on pilgrimages to Jerusalem .
Classification and content
Psalm 132 belongs to the group of royal psalms and was probably part of a liturgy on the occasion of a feast in memory of the dedication of the temple. The psalm interweaves passages that specifically deal with the ritual events at the drawing in of the ark (verses 7-10 and 13-18) with passages that are reminiscent of King David (verses 1-6 and 11-12). It emphasizes David's efforts to build a strong house for the ark of God. He thus appears as the actual founder of the temple, which makes his son Solomon more of an executive organ than David. Verses 8-10 take up a passage from Solomon's prayer at the dedication of the temple ( 2nd Chronicles 6: 41-42 EU ). The conclusion (verses 13-18) affirms the election of Mount Zion and the blessing that should proceed from there.
