Ps. 133:2      Ps. 134:1

Psalms 133:3

Like the dew on Hermon [in northern Israel]
– comes down on Mount Zion [the Temple Mount in Jerusalem].
[In a land with little rain, dew is vital for vegetation, crops, and life, see Isa. 26:19; Zech. 8:12; Hos. 14:6. The king's favor is as life-giving and refreshing as the dew on the grass, see Prov 19:12. In Gen. 27:28, oil and dew form a pair, with oil representing rain.] For from there the Lord (Yahweh) commands his blessing—eternal life!
[An interesting note about rain (and dew) is that it affects everyone, righteous and unrighteous alike, see Matt. 5:45. Living in forgiveness and harmony is an active decision of a believer, see Matt. 6:12, 14–15; Rom. 12:18 that affects the whole community. This psalm ends with a dizzying promise that in response to true unity, the Lord will command his blessing – eternal life.]
