Psalms 133:1
Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!
2 It is like fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron’s beard over the collar of his robes.
3 It is like the dew of Hermon falling on the mountains of Zion. For there the LORD has bestowed the blessing of life forevermore.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
