Psalm 133 New Living Translation (NLT)
Do you enjoy harmony in your relationships? My father used to say, “I like peace in the valley!” In other words, Dad loved it when everyone was together and could stay in a place of unity within the family. It was work, but it was possible.
David enjoyed and wanted to achieve “peace in the valley” or unity with his fellow pilgrims as they all ascended to Jerusalem. He wrote a song about it to keep them all focused on their purpose—working together with God and one another.
Psalm 133
1
How wonderful and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony!
2
For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil
that was poured over Aaron’s head,
that ran down his beard
and onto the border of his robe.
3
Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon
that falls on the mountains of Zion.
And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing,
even life everlasting.
