Psalm 133: A Vision of Brotherly Concord

Psalm 133

A Vision of a Blessed Community.
A song of ascents. Of David

How good it is, how pleasant,
where the people dwell as one!
Like precious ointment on the head,
running down upon the beard,
Upon the beard of Aaron,
upon the collar of his robe.
Like dew of Hermon coming down
upon the mountains of Zion.
There the Lord has lavished blessings,
life for evermore!

[Hermon referred to a majestic snow capped mountain visible in the north of Palestine.]
