Psalm 133

A Song of degrees of David.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head,
that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard:
that went down to the skirts of his garments;
as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion:
for there the Lord commanded the blessing,
even life for evermore.

Blessed Unity of the People of God

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For (A)brethren to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
It is like the dew of (B)Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For (C)there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.

The Excellency of Brotherly Unity.

A Song of [a]Ascents. Of David.

133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious oil [of consecration] poured on the head,
Coming down on the beard,
Even the beard of Aaron,
Coming down upon the edge of his [priestly] robes [consecrating the whole body].(A)

It is like the dew of [Mount] Hermon
Coming down on the hills of Zion;
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing: life forevermore.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 133:1 See Psalm 120 title note.

La bienaventuranza del amor fraternal

Cántico gradual; de David.

133 ¡Mirad cuán bueno y cuán delicioso es

Habitar los hermanos juntos en armonía!

Es como el buen óleo sobre la cabeza,

El cual desciende sobre la barba,

La barba de Aarón,

Y baja hasta el borde de sus vestiduras;

Como el rocío de Hermón,

Que desciende sobre los montes de Sion;

Porque allí envía Jehová bendición,

Y vida eterna.
