134 1 He exhorteth the Levites watching in the Temple, to praise the Lord.

A song of degrees.

Behold, praise ye the Lord, all ye [a]servants of the Lord, ye that by night stand in the house of the Lord.

Lift up your [b]hands to the Sanctuary, and praise the Lord.

The Lord that [c]hath made heaven and earth, bless thee out of Zion.
