David rejoiced that brothers were living together in unity. How sweet it is for us today to be in a congregation where the members are united in spirit and purpose.

Our paraphrase of Psalm 113 might read:

How good and how pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like placing a scarf of kind words on another's head and letting the joy run down over his face and onto his shoulders. It is as if the morning dew is falling on us as a special gift from God. For we feel the Lord bestowing His blessing, even life forevermore.

God wants us to live in unity. What keeps us from it? Perhaps many of us want our own way and put that ahead of keeping peace among our fellow Christians.

Let us consider how we may spur one another
on toward love and good deeds.
- Hebrews 10:24

If we put this admonition into practice, peace and unity would be forthcoming. If we could learn to love others as we love ourselves we would have sweet fellowship like David experienced.
