Verse 1-2
Psalms 134:1-2. Behold, bless ye
the Lord, &c. — Attend to your
duty, O ye ministers of the
Lord; who not only by day, but
by night also, reverently wait
upon him in his house, 1
Chronicles 9:33. Employ your
hearts and tongues in his
praises, and cease not to
declare how great and good he
is.
Lift up your hands, &c. — Unto
God, in prayer and praise; in
the sanctuary — In that holy
house of God where you stand;
or, in holiness, as the margin
reads it, and as is prescribed 1
Timothy 2:8. Do not therefore
content yourselves with lifting
up your hands, but see that this
be done with pure and holy
hearts. And bless the Lord — Be
fervent and unwearied in your
devotions and praises.
Verse 3
Psalms 134:3. The Lord that made
heaven and earth — And therefore
has all the blessings of both at
his disposal, those of the upper
and those of the nether springs;
bless thee — O priest, who dost
engage and encourage us in this
blessed work; out of Zion —
Where he dwells, and from whence
he hears the prayers of his
people, and gives them the
blessings which they need. |
