Psalm 133

Easy-to-Read Version

A song of David for going up to the Temple.

133 Oh, how wonderful, how pleasing it is
    when God’s people all come together as one^[a]!
²It is like the sweet-smelling oil that is poured over the high priest’s^[b] head,
    that runs down his beard flowing over his robes.
³It is like a gentle rain^[c] from Mount Hermon falling on Mount Zion.
    It is there that the Lord has promised his blessing of eternal life.
