## Psalm 132 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. A Canticle in steps: of David. Behold, how good and how pleasing it is for brothers to dwell 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.
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.

## Psalm 132 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Canticum graduum David. Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum, habitare fratres in unum!
2. Sicut unguentum in capite, quod descendit in barbam, barbam Aaron, quod descendit in oram vestimenti ejus;
3. sicut ros Hermon, qui descendit in montem Sion. Quoniam illic mandavit Dominus benedictionem, et vitam usque in sæculum.
