Guiding Questions: Psalms 134 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Psalms 134

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Since reference is made to the servants of the Lord — could this have been a song chanted for the Levites or the Kohanim or by them?
And would reference to those who “stand nightly in the house of the Lord” possibly confirm this?
What is the “sanctuary” to which reference is made in Psalms 134:2 and could there be another interpretation for the word “Kodesh” which is here rendered as “sanctuary”?
From whence will blessing be forthcoming and for whom is it intended (Psalms 134:3)?
