CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 A Canticle in steps: of David. Behold, how good and how pleasing it is for brothers to dwell in unity.
133:1 A Song of Ascents. By David. See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!
2 It is like the ointment on the head that descended to the beard, the beard of Aaron, which descended to the hem of his garment.
133:2 It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron’s beard, that came down on the edge of his robes,
3 It is like the dew of Hermon, which descended from mount Zion. For in that place, the Lord has commanded a blessing, and life, even unto eternity.
133:3 like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion; for there Yahweh gives the blessing, even life forever more.

Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
