Psalms 134
Psalm 134 is a short song of ascent that calls the LORD's servants to worship even through the night. It ends by asking for the LORD's blessing on his people from Zion, joining praise and prayer in a few direct lines.
This psalm addresses those who serve in the LORD's house, especially in night worship. They are called to bless the LORD with lifted hands and with reverence in the sanctuary. The closing line turns from human praise to divine favor, asking the Maker of heaven and earth to bless his people from Zion. In three verses, the psalm joins worship, service, and blessing.
Psalm 134 is the final song of ascents, the short collection of pilgrim psalms in Psalms 120 to 134. It follows Psalm 133, which celebrates unity among God's people, and brings that journey of worship to a close with a call to praise and a request for blessing from the LORD.
