How Good and Pleasant Is Unity

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For (A)brothers to dwell together in unity!
It is like the good (B)oil upon the head,
Coming down upon the beard,
Aaron’s beard,
Coming down upon the (C)edge of his robes.
It is like the (D)dew of (E)Hermon
Coming down upon the (F)mountains of Zion;
For there, Yahweh (G)commanded the blessing—(H)life forever.

A Davidic Song of Ascents

The Significance of Unity

133 Look how good and how pleasant it is
    when brothers live together in unity!
It is like precious oil on the head,
    descending to the beard—
even to Aaron’s beard—
    and flowing down to the edge of his robes.
It is like the dew of Hermon
    falling on Zion’s mountains.
For there the Lord commanded his blessing—
    life everlasting.
