Psalm 133
Behold, how good and pleas- | ant it is*
when brothers dwell in | unity!
It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the

It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of | Zion!*
For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life
for- | evermore.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen.
