1It is very good and very pleasant for God’s people to gather together harmoniously.
שיר המעלות לדוד הנה מה טוב ומה נעים שבת אחים גם יחד׃
2It 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.
כשמן הטוב על הראש ירד על הזקן זקן אהרן שירד על פי מדותיו׃
3Gathering 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.
כטל חרמון שירד על הררי ציון כי שם צוה יהוה את הברכה חיים עד העולם׃
