| New King James Version (NKJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 A Song of Ascents. 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 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. | 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 of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing-- Life forevermore. | 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. |
