PSALM CXXXIII.

This Pfalm recommends brotherly affection. Dathius thinks it might have been composed by David, when after the civil wars in which the people had been involved for eight years after the death of Saul, all the tribes fubmitted themfelves to his authority, 2 Sam. v. 1 Chron. xi. It is also very applicable to the state of the Jews after their return from Baby. lon, when they were commended for their concord and mutual affection. Nehem. viii.

1. BEHOLD how good and pleasant a thing it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.

2. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, upon Aaron's beard, that went down to the collar of his garments.

3. Like the dew of Hermon that defcends upon the parched mountains: for upon it has the Lord ordained bleffing and happiness for ever.

PSALM CXXXIV.

This is a joyful acclamation to the priests and Levites, exhorting them to the due performance of their duty. It was fung perhaps at the evening facrifice. From the change of number in the perfons it appears to have been dramatical.

2. Lift up your hands in the fanctuary, and blefs the Lord.

3. The Lord that made heaven and earth, blefs thee out of Zion.
