The Excellency of Brotherly Unity.

A Song of [a]Ascents. Of David.

1Behold, how good and how pleasant it is

For brothers to dwell together in unity!

2It is like the precious oil [of consecration] poured on the head,

Coming down on the beard,

Even the beard of Aaron,

Coming down upon the edge of his [priestly] robes [consecrating the whole body].

3It is like the dew of [Mount] Hermon

Coming down on the hills of Zion;

For there the LORD has commanded the blessing: life forevermore.
