Psalms 133:1

Verse 1. Canticle. David composed it for the Levites going on duty, ( Bible.) or Solomon for the dedication of the temple. The people might use it on the last day of the three great festivals; or the Levites are exhorted to watch carefully. They may excite each other, (verse 2. Calmet.) as all Christians should do. 1 Peter 2:9. Bert.—In the courts, and so forth seems to be taken from Psalms 134:2. ( Calmet.) as it is not in Hebrew S. Hil.—The court of the people was divided for the men and women, and perhaps there was a separate place for the priests, and for the Levites, in the court of allotted to them, where the latter kept watch. Calmet.
