Psalm 133
This is another of David's pilgrimage Psalms, or a song of ascents.
The other week in the UK we had a referendum on whether the country should remain part of the European Union.
Unfortunately one of the results of this referendum is that much of the country now feels quite aggrieved that either their votes did not count or that they were mislead into voting the way they did.
Within the United Kingdom whole regions voted differently to the overall result and there is now serious talk about breaking apart the country.
The day after the referendum billions were wiped off the economy and the pound plummeted against the dollar and euro - and the incidence of "hate crime" has dramatically increased since the vote.
This Psalm paints a very different picture-
How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!
It is like precious oil poured onto the head, running down on the beard,
Running down on Aaron's beard, down on the collar of his robe.
It is as if the dew of Mount Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life for evermore.
Oh well better get back to working on rebuilding unity!
