Key Reflection

Psalms 134:2 calls for divine praise from those serving in the temple at night, emphasizing that their role as servants of the Lord is an opportunity to express gratitude and worship. This verse highlights the continuous nature of worship and the importance of humility in the presence of God, even during nocturnal service.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary -Margin, In holiness. The Hebrew word properly means holiness, but it may be applied to a holy place. SeePsalms 20:2. The lifting up of the hands is properly expressive of prayer, but the phrase may be used to denote praise or worship in general. And bless the Lord -In the night-watches - while all around is still, - let there be one place where the voice of praise shall ascend on high.
