Psalms 133

1A song of degrees or Psalme of David. Behold, howe good and howe comely a thing it is, brethren to dwell euen together. 2It is like to the precious oyntment vpon the head, that runneth downe vpon the beard, euen vnto Aarons beard, which went downe on the border of his garments: 3And as the dew of Hermon, which falleth vpon the mountaines of Zion: for there the Lord appointed the blessing and life for euer.
