Psalm 134 - The Joy of His Blessings

The author of this short psalm is not known; however, some believe it may have been Hezekiah.  The psalm is about a very small group - the Levites who served as temple watchman.  Singing this psalm, the last of the "songs of the ascent" (Psalms 120-134), the worshipers would ascend the hill where the temple sits and see the watchmen who protected it day in and day out.  They saw them work as an act of praise to God, done reverently and responsibly. 

Make your job or your responsibility in church an act of praise by doing it with reverence to God.  Honor him by the quality of your work and the attitude of service you bring to it.

Psalm 134 / New International Version

¹ Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
    who minister by night in the house of the Lord.
² Lift up your hands in the sanctuary
    and praise the Lord.

³ May the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth, 

    bless you from Zion. 

 

(Zion is another name for Jerusalem)
