(KJV) Psalm 1331

<< Psalm 132 Psalm 134 >>

⥃How Pleasant to Live in Harmony! [ 1 Corinthians 1:10–17 † Ephesians 4:1–16 ]

A Song of degrees of David.

[1] Behold, how good2 and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together3 in unity! [2] [It is] like4 the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down5 upon the beard, [even] Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; [3] As the dew of Hermon6, [and as the dew] that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord7 commanded the blessing, [even] life8 for evermore.

  6. Mr. Maundrell says, "We were sufficiently instructed by experience what the holy Psalmist means by 'the dew of Hermon,' our tents being as wet with it as if it had rained all night."
