Verses 1-3
PSALM 134
The godly remnant, not only in the land, but standing in the house of the Lord, reach the desired end of their pilgrim journey.
(vv. 1-2) The closing psalm of these pilgrim songs presents the crowning experience of the godly in Israel. In the previous psalm the godly are viewed as brethren dwelling together in unity. Here they are seen as the servants of the Lord, occupied in the highest service - the worship of the Lord. Their worship is without cessation, even by night ( 1Ch_9:33 ); and is offered in an holy place - the sanctuary of the House of the Lord. Many a time they had raised their hands in prayer on their desert journey; now they are called to lift up their hands in praise in the house of the Lord.
(v. 3) When the people at last bless the Lord in the sanctuary, the Lord will bless His people out of Zion. When praise goes up blessing flows out.
