Tehillim 134
Why does David HaMelech refer to the, "servants that stand in the house of Hashem at night" (v.1), why not the day?
One explanation is that David is referring to the Kohanim that continue to bless Am Yisrael even after the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash. The "night" here refers to the exile.
Another explanation is that David is referring to the Scholars of the Torah that never abandon their post of serving Hashem and learning Torah even into the wee hours of the night. Some scholars wake up to learn Torah in the middle of the night. The Rambam states that most of a person's wisdom is acquired from the Torah that he learns at night. In fact, the Rambam states that to become a true Talmid Chacham, one must try to not miss even a single night of study (Hilchot Talmud Torah (3:13)).
The true servant of Hashem will have the blessing directly from Hashem, the maker of the heaven and the earth (v.3).
Segula for this perek: For helping one with their learning. (Good to say before one starts learning.) (From the Sefer Shimush Tehillim attributed to Rav Hai Gaon (969 -1038).)
פרק קל"ד
א.  שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת הִנֵּה | בָרֲכוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה כָּל עַבְדֵי יְהֹוָה הָעֹמְדִים בְּבֵית יְהֹוָה בַּלֵּילוֹת:
ב.  שְׂאוּ יְדֵכֶם קֹדֶשׁ וּבָרְכוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה:
ג.  יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהֹוָה מִצִּיּוֹן עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ:
1.  A song of ascents. Behold, bless Hashem, all servants of Hashem who stand in the house of Hashem at night.
2.  Lift your hands in the holy place and bless Hashem.
3.  May Hashem bless you from Zion, He Who made heaven and earth.
