א [שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת, לְדָוִד:]1 הִנֵּה מַה-טּוֹב, וּמַה-נָּעִים -- שֶׁבֶת אַחִים גַּם-יָחַד. ב כַּשֶּׁמֶן הַטּוֹב, עַל-הָרֹאשׁ יֹרֵד, עַל-הַזָּקָן זְקַן-אַהֲרֹן: שֶׁיֹּרֵד, עַל-פִּי מִדּוֹתָיו. ג כְּטַל-חֶרְמוֹן שֶׁיֹּרֵד, עַל-הַרְרֵי צִיּוֹן: כִּי שָׁם צִוָּה יְהוָה, אֶת-הַבְּרָכָה-- חַיִּים, עַד-הָעוֹלָם.

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.
