133
A song of David for going up to the Temple.
1 Oh, how wonderful, how pleasing it is
when God’s people all come together as one*!
2 It is like the sweet-smelling oil that is poured over the high priest’s† head,
that runs down his beard flowing over his robes.
3 It is like a gentle rain‡ from Mount Hermon falling on Mount Zion.
It is there that the LORD has promised his blessing of eternal life.
