Translation by Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)

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 vom Hermon herabfällt 
  auf die Berge Zion.
  Denn daselbst verheißt der Herr Segen
  und Leben immer und ewiglich.
Note: pieces quoted in Schütz's Drei schöne Dinge seind.
