When Brothers Dwell in Unity

A Song of (A)Ascents. Of David.

133 Behold, how good and pleasant it is
    when (B)brothers dwell in unity![a]
It is like the precious (C)oil on (D)the head,
    running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
    running down on (E)the collar of his robes!
It is like (F)the dew of (G)Hermon,
    which falls on (H)the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord (I)has commanded the blessing,
    life forevermore.

  1. Psalm 133:1 Or dwell together

Psalm 133

A song of David for those journeying to worship.

How good and pleasant it is
    when brothers and sisters live together in peace!
It is like the finest oils poured on the head,
    sweet-smelling oils flowing down to cover the beard,
Flowing down the beard of Aaron,
    flowing down the collar of his robe.
It is like the gentle rain of Mount Hermon
    that falls on the hills of Zion.
Yes, from this place, the Eternal spoke the command,
    from there He gave His blessing—life forever.
