Psalm 134
This psalm was perhaps penned when David appointed the orders of the Priests and Levites, 1 Chron. 23, 26. In it we have, (1.) The sacred watchers of the temple stirred up, to employ their time in praising God, ver. 1-2. (2.) A fervent prayer for the blessing of God on them, or on others, ver. 3.
While I am in Christ’s church, let me provoke myself and others to love, and to good works.
1 Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye
that his attendants are,
Ev’n you that in God’s temple be,
and praise him nightly there.
2 Your hands within God’s holy place
lift up, and praise his name.
3 From Zion’ hill the Lord thee bless,
that heav’n and earth did frame.
