What is the meaning of Ecce quam bonum?

"Ecce quam bonum" is Latin for "Behold, how good a thing is". It is the title to Psalm 132 in the Catholic Bible, Psalm 133 in Protestant Bibles and is the first three Words thereof. The Psalm is about the happiness of brotherly love and concord and is attributed to David as its composer.

The entire Psalm runs thus:

1. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity:

2. Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron.

Which ran down to the skirt of his garment: 3. as the dew of hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion. For there the Lord hath commanded blessing, and life for evermore.

(taken from the "Douay Rheims" Bible)

"Ecce quam bonum" is also the motto of The University of the South located in Sewanee, Tennessee.
