1A gradual canticle. Behold now bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord: Who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
1Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!
2In the nights lift up your hands to the holy places, and bless ye the Lord.
2It is like the precious oil upon the head, That ran down upon the beard, Even Aaron’s beard; That came down upon the skirt of his garments;
3May the Lord out of Sion bless thee, he that made heaven and earth.
3Like the dew of Hermon, That cometh down upon the mountains of Zion: For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore.
