“The Excellency Of Brotherly Unity”

Psalms 134 is “Greetings Of Night watchers” In chapter 133 This psalm is a brief encomium on unity and brotherly love, which, if we did not see the miseries of discord among men, we should think needless; but we cannot say too much, it were well if we could say enough, to persuade people to live together in peace. Psalm 133 is a Song of Ascents–a song for going up to a high place. For the Jewish people in ancient times, that high place was the Temple in the city of Jerusalem. One literally “goes up” to Jerusalem. The superscription attributes the Psalm to David, but that superscription was omitted by the RSV, perhaps indicating some reluctance on the part of translators to accept David’s authorship. A tiny thing such as this points to the weakness of that version. Chapter 134 This is the last of the fifteen songs of degrees; and, if they were at any time sung all together in the temple-service, it is fitly made the conclusion of them, for the design of it is to stir up the ministers to go on with their work in the night, when the solemnities of the day were over.

Psalm Chapter 133:1-3
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Psalm Chapter 134:1-3
Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

{Prayer}
Father God, I thank You, praise You and I bless Your holy name! You are awesome and Majestic is Your name! You just tend to bring unity into Your church that no one can fathom. I believe that I may learn to live together with all my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ in godly love and unity, and to Your praise and glory. Protect me from division, wanton discord, strife or division and help all Your children to stand firm in the faith, righteousness once offered to the saints through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has caused us to be united together in Him through the Holy Spirit. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory for all those who mentor, teach and just are a light of Jesus in all who they come in contact with! I thank You, Praise You and give You all the glory for those that are in Your hands now. Bless all of them. I forever want to lift my hands and praise and bless You for all You have done in my life. I thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
