108 From the Book of Psalms is: Psalms 133 and 134
1- Ps. 133. By
what two similes does the psalmist depict the blessings of love and unity? What
is the force of these similes? Cf. Jn. 13:34, 35; 1 Jn. 2:7-11.
2- Ps. 134.
Note the ‘two-way traffic’ sustained in the house and from the city of the
Lord. Where ought we to go to share in it? Cf. Heb. 10:24, 25; 12:22-24.
Notes.
1- 133:2, 3.
These similes both indicate copiousness. The oil was poured upon Aaron’s head
so plentifully that it reached even the collar of the robe. The dew of Hermon was also noted for its
abundance.
2- Ps. 134 is a
Temple son, consisting of the call of the worshippers as they left the Temple
in evening to priests who were to serve during the night, together with the
priestly blessing in response. It forms an appropriate ending to the book of
pilgrim songs.
