| 1 How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God's people to live together in harmony! | 1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! |
| 2 It is like the precious anointing oil running down from Aaron's head and beard, down to the collar of his robes. | 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. |
| 3 It is like the dew on Mount Hermon, falling on the hills of Zion. That is where the Lord has promised his blessing - life that never ends. | 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. |
