Read Psalms 134 in the Bible

Psalms 134:1

Bless ye the Lord. See on Ps. 63:4. By night stand. The Levites were employed in their sacred work by night as well as by day (see 1 Chron. 9:33).

Psalms 134:2

Lift up your hands. A gesture of blessing (see Lev. 9:22), as well as an attitude in prayer (see Ps. 141:2).

Psalms 134:3

That made. The special mark of distinction between the true God and false gods (see on Ps. 115:15). Thee. Each one individually as well as the congregation as a whole. Out of Zion. The benediction from the Creator of the universe is represented as coming from the city of the Great King.
