1  A Song of Ascents; of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

title  A Song of Degrees.

1  See now! what is so good, or what so pleasant, as for brethren to dwell together?

1  BEHOLD, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

2  It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard; even Aaron's beard, that cometh down upon the collar of his garments;

2  It is as ointment on the head, that ran down to the beard, even the beard of Aaron; that ran down to the fringe of his clothing.

2  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  Like the dew of Hermon, that cometh down upon the mountains of Zion; for there YHWH commanded the blessing, even life for ever.

3  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.
