Psalms 134
Psalm 134#sn Psalm 134. The psalmist calls on the temple servants to praise God (vv. 1-2). They in turn pronounce a blessing on the psalmist (v. 3).
A song of ascents.#sn The precise significance of this title, which appears in Pss 120-134, is unclear. Perhaps worshipers recited these psalms when they ascended the road to Jerusalem to celebrate annual religious festivals. For a discussion of their background see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 219-21.
1Attention! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who serve in the Lord’s temple during the night.
2Lift your hands toward the sanctuary and praise the Lord!
3May the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion!
