PSALM 133
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Behold, how good a thing it is,
and how becoming well,
Together such as brethren are
in unity to dwell!
2Like precious ointment on the head,
that down the beard did flow,
Ev'n Aaron's beard, and to the skirts,
did of his garments go.
3As Hermon's dew, the dew that doth
on Sion' hills descend:
For there the blessing God commands,
life that shall never end.

Psalm 133
A song to sing as we climb.
David wrote this song.
1It is good for a family of God's people to live together in peace.
Yes! It brings great pleasure!
2It brings pleasure like valuable olive oil
that is poured on your head,
and it goes down onto your beard.
They poured it onto Aaron's head and his beard,
and it went down onto his clothes. #133:2 Aaron was Moses' brother. He was the first priest that God chose to serve him. When the Israelites chose a new priest, they poured olive oil on his head to show that he was a special servant of God.
3It brings pleasure like the dew on Hermon. #133:3 Dew is water that comes onto the ground at night. It helps plants to grow when there is no rain. Hermon is in the north of the land of Israel.
It makes the mountains of Zion become wet.#133:3 Zion was the hill in Jerusalem where they built God's Temple.
That is the place where the Lord has promised to bless his people.
He blesses them with life for ever.
