[ Read](/kjv/psalms/133)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/133)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/133) Audio

 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant *it is* for brethren to dwell together in unity!*

 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;

 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.
 
[Psalms 132](/study/psalms/132) [Psalms 134](/study/psalms/134)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
There are different opinions concerning this Psalm; the most probable is, that it represents the priests and Levites returned from captivity, and united in the service of God in the sanctuary. This, the preceding, and the following, appear to make one subject. In the *one hundred and thirty-second*, the Lord is entreated to enter his temple, and pour out his benediction; in the *one hundred and thirty-third*, the beautiful order and harmony of the temple service is pointed out, and in the *one hundred and* *thirty-fourth*, all are exhorted to diligence and watchfulness in the performance of their duty. It is attributed to David by the Hebrew, the Syriac, and the Vulgate; but no name is prefixed in the Septuagint, AEthiopic, Arabic, and Anglo-Saxon. 

Verse [Psalms 133:1](/kjv/psalms/133/1). ***Behold, how good and how pleasant*** — Unity is, according to this scripture, a *good* thing and a *pleasant*; and especially among *brethren*-members of the same family, of the same Christian community, and of the same nation. And why not among the great family of mankind? On the other hand, *disunion* is bad and hateful. The former is from heaven; the latter, from hell.
