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.
