Psalm 134 as poetry

·        Here is a poem that explains each verse and each word picture in Psalm 134. First, compare it with the translation in your Bible. This will help you to understand the parts of Psalm 134 that may seem difficult. Then use the poem again when you pray. And remember to praise God during your prayers.

Psalm 134

A song for the journey to Jerusalem.

 

[1] “Praise God!”

I am speaking to God’s servants.

It is now night.

And they are standing in order to carry out their duties in God’s house.

[2] I say to them:

“Lift up your hands in the holy place, in order to praise God!”

 

[3] They bless me with these words:

“God is the maker of both heaven and earth.

From his house in Jerusalem, he will be kind to you.”
