| Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 (132-1) <A gradual canticle of David.> Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity: | 1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! |
| 2 (132-2) Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, Which ran down to the skirt of his garment: | 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 (132-3) As the dew of Hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion. For there the Lord hath commanded blessing, and life for evermore. | 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. |
