Psalm 133
 Self-Portrait among Parents, Brothers and Sisters (c. 1615) Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678) Flemish Baroque Style; Antwerp School The Hermitage, St. Petersburg, Russia Image Source: Web Gallery of Art [ Illustration: Today's painting depicts an extended family, with cherubs lending a heavenly tone to the gathering -- a fitting symbol for the spiritual unity of the brothers spoken of in today's Psalm. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Psalm 133, David extols the blessings of unity among the redeemed brethren. David says that it is good and pleasant for brothers to dwell together in unity (1). In the concluding words of the Psalm he makes it plain that he is speaking of unity among the redeemed -- those who experience the blessing of "life for evermore." He compares this unity to the ointment that covered the head, beard, and garments of Aaron when he was set aside to be High Priest (2). He also compares it to the dew of Mount Hermon which descends upon the mountains of Zion, where the LORD commanded the blessing of everlasting life (3). [ Sermons: Brian De Jong.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms. Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth"). It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments"). I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
