Canticum graduum David. |
A gradual canticle of David. |
(A song of ascents. Of David.) |
1 Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum, habitare fratres in unum! |
1 Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity: |
1 Gracious the sight, and full of comfort, when brethren dwell united. |
2 Sicut unguentum in capite, quod descendit in barbam, barbam Aaron, quod descendit in oram vestimenti ejus; |
2 Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, Which ran down to the skirt of his garment: |
2 Gracious as balm poured on the head till it flows down on to the beard; balm that flowed down Aaron’s beard, and reached the very skirts of his robe. |
3 sicut ros Hermon, qui descendit in montem Sion. Quoniam illic mandavit Dominus benedictionem, et vitam usque in sæculum. |
3 as the dew of Hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion. For there the Lord hath commanded blessing, and life for evermore. |
3 It is as if dew like the dews of Hermon were falling on this hill of Sion; here, where the Lord grants benediction and life everlastingly. |
