Contemporary English Version (A psalm and a song by the clan of Korah.)The Glory of Mount Zion1Zion was built by the Lord on the holy mountain, 2and he loves that city more than any other place in all of Israel. 3Zion, you are the city of God, and wonderful things are told about you. 4Egypt,+ Babylonia, Philistia, are some of those nations that know you, and their people all say, “I was born in Zion.” 5God Most High will strengthen the city of Zion. Then everyone will say, “We were born here too.” 6The Lord will make a list of his people, and all who were born here will be included. 7All who sing or dance will say, “I too am from Zion.” Footnotes: Contemporary English Version, Second Edition (CEV®) © 2006 American Bible Society.
