Psalm 133: How good and how pleasant

Read Psalm 133:1-3 before you meet.

In a few lines

Both of Psalm 133's pictures come down: the oil ran down Aaron's beard and came down on his robes, and Hermon's dew comes down on Zion, one Hebrew verb three times (133:2-3). Its precious oil is, in Hebrew, the good oil of "how good" (133:1-2), and its brothers living together share their Hebrew words with only one other verse: "If brothers dwell together" (Deuteronomy 25:5).

The verse to carry

“A Song of Ascents. By David. See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!”

Psalm 133:1

To talk about

  1. 1. "See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!" (133:1). Where have you seen people live together like this, and what made it good?

  2. 2. Genesis tells of family who couldn't live together (Genesis 13:6-8). Where is living together in unity hardest for you right now, and what would help?

  3. 3. "For there the LORD gives the blessing, even life forever more" (133:3). What blessing from the LORD are you most thankful for this week?
