Psalms 133

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

A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!

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 fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron’s beard over the collar 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.

It is like the dew of Hermon falling on the mountains of Zion. For there the LORD has bestowed the blessing of life forevermore.
