Psalm 133
EasyEnglish Bible

A song to sing as we climb.

David wrote this song.

133 It is good for a family of God's people to live together in peace.
    Yes! It brings great pleasure!
2 It brings pleasure like valuable olive oil
    that is poured on your head,
    and it goes down onto your beard.
They poured it onto Aaron's head and his beard,
    and it went down onto his clothes.[a]
3 It brings pleasure like the dew on Hermon.[b]
It makes the mountains of Zion become wet.[c]
That is the place where the Lord has promised to bless his people.
    He blesses them with life for ever.

Footnotes

  1. 133:2 Aaron was Moses' brother. He was the first priest that God chose to serve him. When the Israelites chose a new priest, they poured olive oil on his head to show that he was a special servant of God.
  2. 133:3 Dew is water that comes onto the ground at night. It helps plants to grow when there is no rain. Hermon is in the north of the land of Israel.
  3. 133:3 Zion was the hill in Jerusalem where they built God's Temple.

Psalm 133
King James Version

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

2 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;

3 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.

Psalm 133

Brödragemenskapens välsignelse

1 En vallfartssång av David.

Se, hur gott och ljuvligt det är
    när bröder bor endräktigt tillsammans.
2 Det är som när den dyrbara oljan på huvudet
rinner ner i skägget, i Arons skägg,
    och ner över kragen på hans dräkt.
3 Det är som Hermons dagg
    som faller ner på Sions berg.
Ty där ger Herren befallning om välsignelse,
om liv till evig tid.

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!

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