Psalm 133
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
1 Behold, how good and | 3 joyful a | thing it • is, ||
for brethren to | dwell to- | 3 gether in | uni•ty! ||
2 It 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;
2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, that ran | down un•to the | beard, ||
even unto Aaron's beard, and went | down • to the | 3 skirts of his | clothing. ||
3 As 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.
3 Like as the | dew of | Hermon, ||
which | fell up•on the | hill of | Sion. ||
4 For there the Lord | 3 promised his | blessing, ||
and | life for | ever- | more. ||
About the Pointing
The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
