MSB Majority Standard Bible
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!
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 fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron’s beard over the collar of his robes.
