Psalms 134

Psalms 134:1-3

In the Sanctuary. A song of the ascents. The last song of ascents shows us Israel in the sanctuary, the night bringing no cessation of constant praise, the praise of a dependent people, rich with the blessing of Jehovah their God. This is, in brief, its three portions. Here the work of the true Melchizedek is seen; the One who as Man leads out His people’s heart in a praise in which He is foremost. While as God, the Representative of God, He can pronounce and bring in the blessing. This is Immanuel and Melchizedek in one; and that is the end here. Everything is in His hand who is the Father of eternity, the Maker and Upholder of the new creation. And here the last “ascent” is fully reached.
