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* when … as one Or “when brothers live together in peace.”!
2 It is like the sweet-smelling oil that is poured over the high priest’s† high priest’s Literally, “Aaron’s.” head,
that runs down his beard flowing over his robes.
3 It is like a gentle rain‡ gentle rain Or “mist” or “snow.” The Hebrew can mean either “the oil is like the mist …” or “Aaron’s beard is like the snow ….” from Mount Hermon falling on Mount Zion.
It is there that the LORD has promised his blessing of eternal life.
