Psalm 133
Contemporary English Version

(A song for worship.)

Living Together in Peace

1 It is truly wonderful
when the people of God
    live together in peace.
2 It is as beautiful as olive oil
    poured on Aaron's head[a]
and running down his beard
    and the collar of his robe.
3 It is like the dew
from Mount Hermon,
    falling on Zion's mountains,
where the Lord has promised
to bless his people
    with life forevermore.

Footnotes

  1. 133.2 head: Olive oil was poured on Aaron's head to show that God had chosen him to be the high priest.
