Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Lo, how good and how pleasant The dwelling of brethren -- even together!
1
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
2 As the good oil on the head, Coming down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, That cometh down on the skirt 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 on the collar of his robe.
3 As dew of Hermon -- That cometh down on hills of Zion, For there Jehovah commanded the blessing -- Life unto the age!
3
It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
