Psalm 133
A song by David for going up to worship.
1See how good and pleasant it is
when brothers and sisters live together in harmony!
2It is like fine, scented oil on the head,
running down the beard—down Aaron’s beard—
running over the collar of his robes.
3It is like dew on ⌞Mount⌟ Hermon,
dew which comes down on Zion’s mountains.
That is where the Lord promised
the blessing of eternal life.
