A Song of Ascents. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, That stand in the house of the LORD in the night seasons.

שְׂאוּ־יְדֵכֶם קֹדֶשׁ וּבָרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃

Lift up your hands to the sanctuary, And bless ye the LORD.

יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה מִצִיּוֹן עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃

The LORD bless thee out of Zion; Even He that made heaven and earth.
