Psalm 133:1-3 Part 1 of 2

How wonderful and pleasant it is

    when brothers live together in harmony!

For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil

    that was poured over Aaron's head,

    that ran down his beard

    and onto the border of his robe.

Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon

    that falls on the mountains of Zion.

And there the LORD has pronounced his blessing,

    even life everlasting. 

     

How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!
