2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of our God.

4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon, for they know my power: behold the Philistines and Tyre and the people of Ethiopia; it shall be said this man was born there.

5And of Zion it shall be said, This mighty man was born in her; and the same shall establish her.

6The LORD shall number his people in the book: This man was born there!

7The princes who dwell in you shall rejoice, and all that are humbled in you.
