Psalm 133:
1. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in
unity!”
2. It is 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;

Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore
