Psalm 133
Tune: Wetherby
Falkirk Free Church
Images:
The Israelites oppressed by Pharaoh (Exodus 1-5)
Aaron's staff becomes a snake (Exodus 7)
Aaron ordained as High Priest by Moses (Leviticus 8)
Tiberias looking towards Hermon after David Roberts.
Aaron, Moses and Eleazar by William Brassey Hole. (Numbers 20)
The images are only intended to provide resonances with some aspects of the psalm; they are not intended as a one-to-one correspondences. They are more like visual cross-references.

PSALM 133 C.M.

1 How excellent a thing it is,
how pleasant and how good,
When brothers dwell in unity
and live as brothers should!

2 For it is like the precious oil,
poured out on Aaron’s head,
That, running over, down his beard,
upon his collar spread.

3 Like Hermon’s dew, upon the hill
of Zion it descends.
The LORD bestows his blessing there—
the life that never ends.
