Psalm 133

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

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

It is like precious oil upon the head,
    that runs down on the beard—
even Aaron’s beard—
    and going down to the collar of his garments;
as the dew of Hermon,
    that descends upon the mountains of Zion,
for there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
    even life forever.

The People of God Dwell in Unity

A song of ascents. Of David.[a]

133 Look, how good and how pleasant it is
when brothers dwell together in unity.
It is like the fragrant oil upon the head,
running down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron,
that runs down upon the edges of his robes.
It is like the dew of Hermon that runs down
upon the mountains of Zion,
because there Yahweh commanded the blessing—
life forever.
