The Psalms of David in Metre

 Back to the 1650 Scottish Psalter

 

Psalm 133

1 Behold, how good a thing it is,
and how becoming well,
Together such as brethren are
in unity to dwell!

2 Like precious ointment on the head,
that down the beard did flow,
Ev’n Aaron’s beard, and to the skirts,*
did of his garments go.

3 As Hermon’s dew, the dew that doth
on Zion’ hills descend:
For there the blessing God commands,
life that shall never end.
