Read Psalms 134 in the King James Bible (opens in a new tab)
Psalm 134 is a closing call to worship, urging the Lord’s servants—especially those who stand in the house of the Lord by night—to bless the Lord with reverent devotion. It highlights worship that continues even when others sleep, showing that faithfulness is not seasonal or public-only. The psalm directs God’s people to lift their hands toward the sanctuary, expressing humble surrender and wholehearted praise. It also teaches a holy order: God’s servants bless the Lord, and the Lord answers by blessing His people. The final word points to the Lord as Creator, blessing from Zion—reminding us that true blessing flows from God’s presence, not from human effort.
Psalms 134:1 - 134:3
1 A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the Lord, all [ye] servants of the Lord, which by night stand in the house of the Lord.
2 Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.
3 The Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.
