Psalms – Chapter 133

Old Testament3 Verses

1A gradual canticle. 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.

2In the nights lift up your hands to the holy places, and bless ye the Lord.

3May the Lord out of Sion bless thee, he that made heaven and earth.

Reflection for Today

As Catholics read Psalms Chapter 133, we do so within the living Tradition that has guarded this text for two millennia.

The saints did not treat Scripture as antiquarian literature. St. Teresa of Avila, St. Francis de Sales, and countless others used passages such as this to fuel daily conversion. the sanctity of marriage and family remains a practical lesson for modern disciples.

As you continue through Psalms, carry this chapter's lesson into your family, parish, and work. Catholic faith is always ecclesial—God speaks to us as members of Christ's Body, not as isolated individuals.
