Psalms 133

1 It is very good and very pleasant for God’s people to gather together harmoniously.

A Song of Ascents. By David. See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!

2 It is [as delightful as] the precious/expensive ([olive] oil/perfume) that runs down from [the Supreme Priest] Aaron’s head onto his beard [when he is anointed] and runs down onto the collar of his robes.

It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron’s beard, that came down on the edge of his robes,

3 Gathering together harmoniously [is as delightful] as the dew [that falls] on Hermon [Mountain] and the dew that falls on the hills near Zion [Hill]. Yahweh has promised to bless [his people there in Jerusalem] [by giving them] everlasting (OR, a long-lasting) life.

like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion; for there the LORD gives the blessing, even life forever more.
