1Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.
2Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
PSALM 134
Psa 134:1-3. 1, 2. The pilgrim bands arriving at the sanctuary call on the priests, who
stand in the house of the Lord--at the time of the evening sacrifice, to unite in praising God in their name and that of the people, using appropriate gestures, to which the priests reply, pronouncing the Mosaic blessing which they alone could pronounce. A fit epilogue to the whole pilgrim-book, Psalms 120-134.
by night--the evening service (Psa 141:2), as opposed to morning (Psa 92:2).
2. Lift up your hands--(Compare Psa 28:2).

3The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

3. After the manner directed (Nu 6:23).
out of Zion--the Church, as His residence, and thus seat of blessings. Thus close the songs of degrees.
