Psalm 133

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.

How wonderful and pleasant it is
    when brothers live together in harmony!
For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil
    that was poured over Aaron’s head,
    that ran down his beard
    and onto the border of his robe.
Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon
    that falls on the mountains of Zion.
And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing,
    even life everlasting.

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.
