Psalm 133

When Brothers Dwell in Unity

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1
Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when e brothers dwell in unity! 1
2 It is like the precious f oil on g the head,
running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down on h the collar of his robes!
 3 It is like i the dew of j Hermon,
which falls on k the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord l has commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.
