Psalm 133

Psalm 133

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

1 How wonderful and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony!
2 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.
3 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.

Psalm 133

The Excellency of Brotherly Unity.

A Song of Ascents, of David.

1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!

2 It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Coming down upon the beard,
Even Aaron's beard,
Coming down upon the edge of his robes.

3 It is like the dew of Hermon
Coming down upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the LORD commanded the blessing-life forever.
