About this chapterThe last of the Songs of Ascents, a brief exchange between pilgrims and the priests who serve at night in the temple. The servants of the Lord who stand in his house are called to bless him, lifting their hands in the sanctuary. Then a blessing is spoken back over them: may the Lord, maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion. The psalm is a fitting close to the pilgrim journey, moving from arrival to worship to blessing, and it reminds readers that worship goes both ways, we bless God and he blesses us.
