Psalms 133-135

1 BEHOLD, how good a thing it is, And how becoming well, Together such as brethren are In unity to dwell!
2 Like precious ointment on the head, That down the beard did flow, E'en Aaron's beard, and to the skirts Did of his garments go.
3 As Hermon's dew, the dew that doth On Sion's hill descend; For there the blessing God commands, Life that shall never end. Scotch Version, 1641, a

1 PRAISE to God on high be given, Praise from all in earth and heaven, Ye that in His presence stand, Ye that walk by His command, Saints below, and hosts above, Praise, oh praise, the God of love!
2 Praise Him at the dawn of light, Praise Him at returning night; Strings and voices, hands and hearts, In His praises bear your parts; Thou that madest earth and sky, Bless us in return from high! Henry Francis Lyte, 1834

Psalm 135 (1 of 2)
1 O PRAISE the Lord with one consent, And magnify His name; Let all the servants of the Lord His worthy praise proclaim.
2 Praise Him all ye that in His house Attend with constant care, With those that to His outmost courts With humble zeal repair!
3 For God His own peculiar choice The sons of Jacob makes; And Israel's offspring for His own Most valued treasure takes.
4 Let all with thanks His wondrous works In Sion's courts proclaim! Let them in Salem, where He dwells, Exalt His holy name! Tate and Brady, 1696.
