Psalms 134
134
The Night Watch
A song of the stairway
1All his loving priests who serve and sing,
come and sing your song of blessing to God.
Come and stand before him in the house of God
throughout the night watch,
2lifting up your hands in holy worship; come and bless the Lord!
3May the Lord, whom you worship,
the mighty maker of heaven and earth,
bless you from Zion’s glory!
