¹ How very good and pleasant it is
    when kindred live together in unity!^(A)
2 It is like the precious oil on the head,
    running down upon the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
    running down over the collar of his robes.^(B)
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
    which falls on the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord ordained his blessing,
    life forevermore.^(C)

¹ Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
    who stand by night in the house of the Lord!^(A)
2 Lift up your hands to the holy place,
    and bless the Lord.^(B)
