Psalm 133
Translated by George Wither (1632) · From The Psalmes of David Translated into Lyrick-Verse (1632)
SEe Breth'ren, see, how sweet a blisse
It is our lives in love to lead.
It like that pretious Oyntment is,
Which once anointed Aron's head;
And, on his heard, from thence did flowe,
Ev'n to his garment skirts belowe.
It like refreshing dewe doth prove,
Which downe on Hermon's topp distills;
Ev'n like the dewe, which from above
Descendeth downe on Syon hills.
For, there, God promisd, heretofore,
To blesse with life, for ever more.
