Psalms chapter 134
Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.
The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.
Psalms 134 KJV: A Final Call to the Servants of the Night
Psalms 134 documents a late-night exchange in the Temple, calling on those who 'stand by night' to lift up their hands and bless the Lord. It articulates the reciprocal nature of worship: as the servants bless God in the sanctuary, the Lord who made heaven and earth blesses them out of Zion. This chapter serves as the 'closing ceremony' of the Songs of Ascents, ending the journey with a continuous cycle of blessing.
