Blessed Unity of the People of God

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For abrethren to dwell together in unity! 
2 It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
3 It is like the dew of aHermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For bthere the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.

Psalms 133:1-2

The blessings of fraternal unity. (Psalms 133:1-3)

As the fragrant oil is refreshing, so this affords delight. The holy anointing oil for the high priest was olive oil mixed with four of the best spices (Exodus 30:22, Exodus 30:25, Exodus 30:30). Its rich profusion typified the abundance of the Spirit's graces. As the copious dew, such as fell on Hermon, falls in fertilizing power on the mountains of Zion, so this unity is fruitful in good works.
