朝聖者一面往耶路撒冷繼續前進，一面沈思上帝賜給他的美滿家庭（詩128），上帝在危難（詩129）和消沈（詩130）中的拯救，上帝的富足（詩131），服事上帝的喜樂（詩132），以及在上帝大家族中的合一（詩133），最後在旅程的終點，他滿心洋溢著讚美（詩134）。

        詩篇一三三篇引用兩則舊約中生動的例子，來形容屬上帝的人「和睦同居是何等的善，何等的美」（133：1）第一幅畫是亞倫的受膏。在大祭司受膏的典禮中（出29：7；30：22-25），有一項在大祭司頭上傾倒一種特殊的油膏，使油膏遍佈全身的儀式，這種昂貴的香膏代表尊貴的屬靈角色──把全國百姓帶到上帝面前！同樣的，信徒之間如兄如弟的合一在上帝面前，也是一種愉悅的馨香之氣，對尋求平安的世人而言，則是一種美麗的吸引。
        第二幅畫是黑門山的甘露。在一塊雨量稀少、不定的不毛之地，露水可以滋潤生命與乾旱的土地，巴勒斯坦經過漫長而乾旱的夏季後，植物之所以能夠倖存與開花，完全是因為有露水的緣故。信徒之間的合一正如甘露一樣：是上帝賜予的一個禮物，爲這個冷酷的世界帶來祝福與豐收！
        今日的基督徒是否擁有聖經中合一的理想境界？請先省察你自己的生活，再細讀約翰福音十七章十一、二十一節；然後問自己：「我與弟兄姊妹間的來往是否已是芳香油膏和清晨的甘露？有需要改善的地方嗎？」

        登上聖城
        耶路撒冷，也就是眾所週知的錫安山，坐落在海拔二千六百英呎的山上，因為有此高度，朝聖者從四面八方抵達時，都必須「上耶路撒冷」，聖殿與城牆高高的聳立著，當長途跋涉登上聖城的人，第一眼看到這磅礡壯麗的山景時，想必是驚心動魄的。

往返過於頻繁的基督徒，可能會像兩隻瑟瑟發抖、相擁相擠的刺蝟一樣──彼此需要，也彼此傷害。

        The pilgrim, continuing his journey to Jerusalem, contemplates the blessings of God upon his family (128), the deliverance by God from danger (129) and depression (130), the sufficiency of God (131), the joy of serving God (132), and die unity of die household of God (133). An outburst of praise concludes the pilgrim's journey (134).

        Psalm 133 uses two picturesque Old Testament illustrations to describe the beautiful harmony of God's people "dwelling together in unity" (133:1).
        The first picture is of Aaron's anointing. When the high priest was anointed (Exodus 29:7; 30:22-25), the ceremony involved the messy procedure of pouring special oil upon the priest's head. But the costly fragrant lotion pictured the beauty of his spiritual role in bringing the nation to God. In the same way, unity in the brotherhood of believers is a pleasing fragrance to God and an attractive aroma to those in the world who find peace so elusive.
        The second picture is of the dew on Mount Hermon. In an arid land where rainfall is scarce and fickle, the dew brings life-sustaining moisture to parched ground. Through the long, dry summers in Palestine, plants survive and blossom because of the dew. Unity in the brotherhood of believers is like that dew: a gift from God to bring blessing and fruitfulness in an otherwise barren world.
        Have Christians today achieved this Biblical ideal of unity? Look at your own life first. Read John 17:11, 21, and ask: "Do my relationships in the body of Christ provide the fragrance of ointment and the refreshment of dew?"

        Ascent to the Holy City
        Jerusalem, also known as Mount Zion, is located on a hill rising 2,600 feet above sea level. Because of its elevation, pilgrims arriving from any direction must go "up to Jerusalem." The temple and walls rising above the surrounding terrain must have provided a breathtaking view for those marching to the Holy City.

Too often Christian unity can be illustrated by two cold porcupines huddling together— they need each other, but they needle each other.
