1Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell in unity.
1A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David all his affliction;
2Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, Which ran down to the skirt of his garment:
2How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
3As the dew of Hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion. For there the Lord hath commandeth blessing, and life for evermore.
3'Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;
