To dwell together in unity
One of the Psalms set for Morning Prayer today in the Church of England is this one. I don't imagine it 's being said throughout the Anglican Communion, but we would all do well to meditate on it, supposing of course that we could suspend our collective sense of irony and shame.Psalm 133
Refrain: Mercy and truth are met together,
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Behold how good and pleasant it is •
to dwell together in unity.
It is like the precious oil upon the head, •
running down upon the beard,
Even on Aaron’s beard, •
running down upon the collar of his clothing.
It is like the dew of Hermon •
running down upon the hills of Zion.
For there the Lord has promised his blessing: •
even life for evermore. R
Refrain: Mercy and truth are met together,
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Grant to your people, good Lord, the spirit of unity,
that they may dwell together in your love,
and so bear to the world
the ointment of your healing
and the dew of your blessing;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
