Psalms 134:1

all ye servants of the Lord Not Israelite worshippers in general, but, as the following clause shews, ministrants in the Temple.

which by night stand in the house of the Lord -To stand before Jehovah" was the regular term for priestly or Levitical ministration. Cp. Deuteronomy 10:8 &c.; Hebrews 10:11.

The words imply that services of praise and thanksgiving were held in the Temple at night; possibly a reference to such services is to be found in 1 Chronicles 9:33.

The addition even in the courts of the house of our Godin the P.B.V. is derived through the Vulg. from the LXX, and comes from Psalms 135:2.
