133

Psalm 133 is the 133rd psalm of the Book of Psalms, generally known in English by its first verse, in the King James Version, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" In the Greek Septuagint version of the bible, and in its Latin translation in the Vulgate, this psalm is Psalm 132 in a slightly different numbering system. In Latin, it is known as "Ecce quam bonum". The psalm is one of the fifteen Songs of Ascents (Shir Hama'alot), and one of the three Songs of Ascents consisting of only three verses.The psalm is a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Anglican and Protestant liturgies. It has been set to music often, notably by Heinrich Schütz, Friedrich Kiel, and as the conclusion of Bernstein's Chichester Psalms. Addressing the topic of unity, the beginning of the psalm has been chosen as a motto by universities.
