| King James Bible | New International Version |
| 1A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together 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 ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; | 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. |
| 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. | 3It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. |
