Jehovah's servants called to bless the blesser
Psalm 134 closes the series by calling on the servants of
Jehovah to bless Him. Night and day should furnish praise to Him,
and in the holy place holy hands be lifted up to bless. Jehovah was
there, His servants there to praise Him. Jehovah, who made heaven
and earth, blessed now (not simply from heaven, but) out of Zion. It
is the place of blessing Jehovah, and Jehovah blessing. I should be
disposed to count the last verse rather the voice of Christ as the
Son of David, something in the character of Melchisedec, who said,
Blessed be the most high God, and blessed be Abraham of the most
high God, only specially in connection with Jehovah (as Zech. 6:13)
blessing the godly remnant out of Zion. The last verse is a kind of
answer to the call of the preceding ones; the Spirit of Christ in
the remnant calls on Jehovah's servants to bless Him, and they from
Him bless the godly one.
