Psalms 133

A short psalm celebrating unity among God's people.

Psalms 133 - Unity Like Precious Ointment

Psalm 133 opens with a memorable exclamation, "how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity," a line captured fully in Psalms 133:1. It follows the covenant promises of Psalms 132 with a simple picture of harmony among God's people.


(大衛 上行 之詩。)看哪,弟兄 和睦同 居 是何等地 善,何等地 美!

這好比那貴重的 油 澆在 亞倫 的頭上,流 到 鬍鬚,又流 到 他的衣 襟;

又好比黑門 的甘露 降 在 錫安 山;因為 在那裡 有耶和華 所 命定 的福,就是永遠 的生命。

The psalmist pictures that unity as fragrant oil running down Aaron's beard and as refreshing dew from Hermon settling on the mountains of Zion, an image of shared blessing echoed in <a href="/bible/chiun/1-corinthians/chapter-1/10">1 Corinthians 1:10</a>.
