Psalm 134¹

A song of ascents.²

134:1 Attention!³ Praise the Lord,

all you servants of the Lord,

who serve⁴ in the Lord’s temple during the night.

134:2 Lift your hands toward the sanctuary

and praise the Lord!

134:3 May the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth,

bless you⁵ from Zion!⁶

¹sn 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).

²sn 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.

³tn Heb “Look!”

⁴tn Heb “stand.”

⁵tn The pronominal suffix is second masculine singular, suggesting that the servants addressed in vv. 1-2 are responding to the psalmist.

⁶tn Heb “may the Lord bless you from Zion, the maker of heaven and earth.”
