  3. Psalms Series • Today we will learn about an ancient song • Psalm 133

  4. Ps 133 – a song of ascents • Ascending tempo? • Ascending pitch? • Ascending to Jerusalem

  5. How wonderful it is, how pleasant, when brothers live together in harmony! For harmony is as precious as the fragrant anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And the LORD has pronounced his blessing, even life forevermore.

  6. The Beauty of Harmony A Study of Psalm 133 Summer 2008

  7. Imagery in Ps 133 Here, the Psalmist gives two pictures from the Hebrew context.
