1 How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together!

2 It is like precious oil on the head, flowing down on Aaron's beard, dripping down on the hems of his garment;

3 as the dew of Hermon, which descendeth upon the mounts of Zion: for there the Lord hath commanded blessing and life for ever.

Psalm 133

Song of ascent.

1 Bless the Lord now, all ye servants of the Lord who stand in the house of the Lord [in the courts of the house of our God] during the night.

2 Lift up your hands to the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.

3 The Lord of Zion, who made the heavens and the earth, will bless you. Alleluia.

Psalm 134

1 Praise the name of the Lord, praise ye servants of the Lord,

2 standing in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing to his name, for it is sweet;

4 For the Lord hath chosen unto himself Jacob, Israel for his possession.

5 I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods.

6 The Lord does whatever he will, in heaven and on earth, on the seas and in all the deeps;

7 He raises up clouds from the ends of the earth, He makes lightning in the rain, He brings the wind out of His storehouses.

8 He smote the firstborn of Egypt, from man to beast,

9 He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh and on all his servants,

10 He smote many nations, and destroyed mighty kings;

11 And Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

12 And he gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to Israel his people.
