Psalms 133
Behold, How Good and How Pleasant It Is for Brethren to Dwell Together in Unity
1Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
PSALM 133
Psa 133:1-3. The blessings of fraternal unity.
1-2. As the fragrant oil is refreshing, so this affords delight. The holy anointing oil for the high priest was olive oil mixed with four of the best spices (Ex 30:22, 25, 30). Its rich profusion typified the abundance of the Spirit's graces. As the copious dew, such as fell on Hermon, falls in fertilizing power on the mountains of Zion, so this unity is fruitful in good works.

2It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
