A song to sing as we climb.

David wrote this song.

133 It is good for a family of God's people to live together in peace.
    Yes! It brings great pleasure!
It brings pleasure like valuable olive oil
    that is poured on your head,
    and it goes down onto your beard.
They poured it onto Aaron's head and his beard,
    and it went down onto his clothes.[a]

Psalm 133

A song of ascents. Of David.

How good and pleasant it is
    when God’s people live together(A) in unity!(B)

It is like precious oil poured on the head,(C)
    running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron’s beard,
    down on the collar of his robe.
