For Brethren to Dwell Together in Unity

An encouraging psalm for the children of God to live peacefully and in harmony with each other. God values this so much and it is described as being like oil running from the head to the beard and to the garments, when people live in unity. Another imagery is like dew flowing down the mountain of Zion. It is written that in such unity, God's blessing will be there also. On the reverse side, when there is no blessing, the cause is due to lack of unity in His children.


Psalm 133
Blessed Unity of the People of God
A Song of Ascents. Of David.

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,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.

3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.
