About the Author

Psalms 132 from Scroll 11Q5 Psalmsa

8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place;

you, and the ark of your strength.

Let your priests be clothed with righteousness.

Let your saints shout for joy!”

10 For your servant David’s sake,

don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth.

He will not turn from it:

“For I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

12 If your children will keep my covenant,

my testimony that I will teach them,

their children also will sit go up on your throne forever more

13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion.

He has desired it for his habitation.

14 “This is my resting place forever.

Here I will live, for I have desired it.

15 I will abundantly bless her provision.

I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 Her priests I will also clothe with salvation.

Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

17 There I will make the horn of David to bud.

I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,

but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
