A song of ascents
134:Title See Ps 120. This is the last of the songs of ascent which began with 120. The pilgrim set out on his journey, arrived in Jerusalem, admired the city of God, offered his offerings and prayers, learned again the lessons of humility, hope, faith, and unity, and now sets out for home. Verses 1,2 give his parting word of exhortation and encouragement to the priests in the temple; probably v 3 is the response of the priests giving the blessing of Zion to the departing pilgrim.⚜

📚See that you praise the LORD 📖,all you servants
of the LORD,
who stand at night in the house
of the LORD.
2 📚Lift up your hands in
the sanctuary and
praise the LORD.
3 📚The LORD who made heaven
and earth bless
you from Zion!
134:3 See Ps 124:8; Gen 12:1-3; Num 6:22-27. If in our pilgrimage through life we have the blessing of the Maker of heaven and earth, what can we lack of any real importance?⚜
