Psalms 133 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
JV McGee
At last the pilgrims are within the city of God. The common impulse of all has been the desire to reach the dwelling-place of The LORD, and to worship before His face. This desire has brought them together, and in this nearness of souls gathered by a common purpose there is a new blessing, and of that they sing. In finding God they have found each other, and as a result of common loyalty to Him, a new social order has been created.

Under two figures the singer describes the blessedness of this order. It is like the holy anointing oil. It is like the dew of Hermon. The former suggests joy and richness of experience. The latter describes the freshness of renewal of all life. The source of the new joy is recognised, "The LORD commanded the blessing." The first matter of importance in individual life is ever that of seeking fellowship with God. When this is sought and found, there always follows the realisation of the fellowship of the saints.

When Brothers Dwell in Unity    

Psalms 133:1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Psalms 133:2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
Psalms 133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
