Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum
Language: Latin  after the Hebrew (עברית)
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.

1 Ein Lied Davids im höhern Chor. Siehe, wie fein und lieblich ist, daß Brüder einträchtig beieinander wohnen! 2 Wie der köstliche Balsam ist, der vom Haupt Aarons herabfleußt in seinen ganzen Bart, der herabfleußt in sein Kleid, 3 wie der Tau, der von Hermon herabfällt auf die Berge Zion. Denn daselbst verheißt der Herr Segen und Leben immer und ewiglich.
