Psalm 133

An exhortation to praise God continually.

Does this psalm differ from what you were expecting? Don't be confused. There are two systems for arranging the psalms: the Septuagint and the Masoretic. We use the Septuagint system here. In the Masoretic system, which is used in most modern Bible translations, this psalm is called Psalm 134, and the previous psalm is known as Psalm 133.

English (Douay-Rheims)

A gradual canticle.

1 Behold now bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord: Who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
2 In the nights lift up your hands to the holy places, and bless ye the Lord.
3 May the Lord out of Sion bless thee, he that made heaven and earth.

Ecce nunc benedicite Dominum, omnes servi Domini:

qui fecit cælum et terram.
