Psalm 134:1
<
> Behold, bless ye the LORD, all
ye
servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.
134:1-3 An exhortation to bless the Lord. - We must stir up ourselves to give glory to God, and encourage ourselves to hope for mercy and grace from him. It is an excellent plan to fill up all our spare minutes with pious meditations, and prayers and praises. No time would then be a burden, nor should we murder our hours by trifling conversation and vain amusements, or by carnal indulgences. We need desire no more to make us happy, than to be blessed of the Lord. We ought to beg spiritual blessings, not only for ourselves, but for others; not only, The Lord bless me, but, The Lord bless thee; thus testifying our belief that there is enough for others as well as for us, and showing our good will to others.
Psalm 134:2
Lift up your hands
in
the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.
Psalm 134:3
The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.
