·        Here is a poem that explains each verse and each word picture in Psalm 134. First, compare it with the translation in your Bible.

Psalm 134

A song for the journey to Jerusalem.

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

“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.”
