| 1Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! | 1A song of ascents. Of David. How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity! |
| 2It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! | 2It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down on the collar of his robe. |
| 3It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life forevermore. | 3It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. |
