# Psalms 133

*The communion of saints. A Song of degrees of David.*

**1** Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
**2** It 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;
**3** As 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.
