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.
