| 1A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! | 1A Davidic song of ascents. How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! |
| 2It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; | 2It is like fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron's beard onto his robes. |
| 3As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. | 3It is like the dew of Hermon falling on the mountains of Zion. For there the LORD has appointed the blessing-- life forevermore. |
