Songs of Ascent: 10 a “Behold, how good” & 10 b “Behold, bless ye the Lord”

Background

Psalm 133

Behold, how good, how pleasant,
For brethren to dwell together in unity.

[It is] like the precious ointment upon the head,
That ran down upon the beard of Aaron,
And down to the hem of his garments.

…as the dew upon the mountains of Zion.

Behold, how good, how pleasant,
To dwell in unity.
Like precious oil upon the head,
And as the dew upon the mountains of Zion:

For there the Lord gave the blessing,
Even life forevermore.

Psalm 134

Behold, bless ye the Lord,
All ye servants of the Lord,
Which by night stand in the house of the Lord.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary,
And bless the Lord.
The Lord that made heaven and earth
Bless thee out of Zion.
