1 A song of the degrees by David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell closely together in union!2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down upon the beard, yea, Aarons beard, which runneth down upon the upper border of his garments;3 Like the dew of Chermon, running down upon the mountains of Zion; for there hath the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

14 (55:15) So that we took sweet secret counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in tumultuous company.

9 Two are better than one; because they will have a good reward for their toil.10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to the single one that falleth; for he hath no companion to lift him up.11 Also, if two lie together, then will they become warm; but how can one person alone become warm?12 And if a man could overpower him, the single one, two would stand up against him: and a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn asunder.
