[Psalms 134:1](../../../kjv/psalms/134/1) « 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.
Ver. 1. **Behold, bless ye the Lord** ] This short psalm (the last of the fifteen graduals) is *breve Sacerdotum speculum,* saith an expositor; a mirror for ministers, who are first excited by a Behold, as by the sounding of a trumpet, or the ringing of a sermon bell. And, secondly, exhorted to praise God, and to pray unto him; whereunto if we add their teaching of Jacob God’s judgments, whereof Moses reminds them, [Deuteronomy 33:10](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/33/10) , what more can be required of Archippus, to the fulfilling of his ministry? and if he be slack, he must be told of it, [Colossians 4:17](../../../kjv/colossians/4/17) , yet with all due respect and reverence to his office, [1 Timothy 5:1](../../../kjv/1-timothy/5/1) . And it were far better, if they would rouse up themselves with the wakeful cock, and not keep sleepy sentry in the sanctuary.
****
**All ye servants of the Lord** ] Ye priests and Levites, who are God’s servants, but of a more than ordinary alloy; servants of noblest employment about him. Such are all faithful ministers; each of them may say with Paul, [Acts 27:23](../../../kjv/acts/27/23) , "Whose I am, and whom I serve."
****
**Which by night stand in the house of the Lord** ] Keeping watch and ward there in your turns, [Numbers 18:1-2](../../../kjv/numbers/18/1-2) , &c.; [1 Chronicles 9:33](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/9/33) . The Rabbis say, that the high-priest only sat in the sanctuary (as did Eli, 1Sa 1:1-28 ), the rest stood, as ready priest to do their office.

Psa 134:2 Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.
Ver. 2. **Lift up your hands in the sanctuary** ] Or, Lift up holy hands, as [1 Timothy 2:8](../../../kjv/1-timothy/2/8) . One readeth it, out of the Hebrew, Lift up your hands, sanctuary, that is, ye sanctuary men, *continens pro contento.* Hearts and hands must both up to heaven, [Lamentations 3:41](../../../kjv/lamentations/3/41) , and God be glorified both with spirits and bodies, which are the Lord’s, [1 Corinthians 6:20](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/6/20) .
****
**And bless the Lord** ] Like so many earthly angels; and as if ye were in heaven already, say,

Psa 134:3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.
Ver. 3. **The Lord that made heaven and earth** ] And therefore hath the blessings of both lives in his hand to bestow. See [Numbers 6:24](../../../kjv/numbers/6/24) .
****
**Bless thee out of Zion** ] They are blessings indeed that come out of Zion; choice, peculiar blessings, even above any that come out of heaven and earth. Compare [Psalms 128:5](../../../kjv/psalms/128/5) , and the promise, [Exodus 20:24](../../../kjv/exodus/20/24) , In all places where I put the memory of my name I will come unto thee and bless thee.
