• Chapter 133

A short psalm celebrating unity among God's people.

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.

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/russynodal/1-corinthians/chapter-1/10">1 Corinthians 1:10</a>.
