PSALM 134

. **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 ([Psalms 141:2](../../../kjv/psalms/141/2)), as opposed
to *morning* ([Psalms 92:2](../../../kjv/psalms/92/2)).

**2. Lift up your hands**—(Compare
[Psalms 28:2](../../../kjv/psalms/28/2)).

**3.** After the manner directed ().
**out of Zion**—the Church,
as His residence, and thus seat of blessings. Thus close the songs of
degrees.
