Significance

Psalm 132:8 invokes "Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place (מְנוּחָה, menuchah), You and the ark of Your strength." Deuteronomy 12:9 states "For you have not yet come to the resting place (מְנוּחָה, menuchah) and the inheritance that the LORD your God is giving you." Both texts use menuchah to describe the permanent dwelling place God will choose, contrasting the wandering period with the settled destination. The psalmist's prayer for God to "arise" to His menuchah treats the Deuteronomic promise as a prayer to be realized: the ark's journey through the wilderness and various temporary locations (Shiloh, Kiriath-jearim) finds its goal in Zion, the place God chose as His permanent rest.
