< Psalms 133 >
1 It is very good and very pleasant for God’s people to gather together harmoniously.
A Canticle in steps: of David. Behold, how good and how pleasing it is for brothers to dwell 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 ointment on the head that descended to the beard, the beard of Aaron, which descended to the hem of his garment.
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, which descended from mount Zion. For in that place, the Lord has commanded a blessing, and life, even unto eternity.
