Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil on the head,
running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down on the collar of his robes!
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.
It might seem a lot of work to come up with a story and make observations especially with such a short psalm but the effort is well worth it for then you will be able to recall the poem much more effectively later on. It is surprising how quickly we tend to forget detail.
Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers
dwell in unity!
