| 1On the holy mountain stands the city founded by the LORD. | 1A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation is in the holy mountains. |
| 2He loves the city of Jerusalem more than any other city in Israel. | 2The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. |
| 3O city of God, what glorious things are said of you! Interlude | 3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. |
| 4I will count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me— also Philistia and Tyre, and even distant Ethiopia. They have all become citizens of Jerusalem! | 4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. |
| 5Regarding Jerusalem it will be said, “Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.” And the Most High will personally bless this city. | 5And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. |
| 6When the LORD registers the nations, he will say, “They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.” Interlude | 6The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. |
| 7The people will play flutes and sing, “The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!” | 7As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. |
