| New Living Translation | New International Version |
| 1On the holy mountain stands the city founded by the LORD. | 1Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song. He has founded his city on the holy mountain. |
| 2He loves the city of Jerusalem more than any other city in Israel. | 2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the other dwellings of Jacob. |
| 3O city of God, what glorious things are said of you! Interlude | 3Glorious things are said of you, city of God: |
| 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! | 4"I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me-- Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush -- and will say, 'This one was born in Zion.'" |
| 5Regarding Jerusalem it will be said, “Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.” And the Most High will personally bless this city. | 5Indeed, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her." |
| 6When the LORD registers the nations, he will say, “They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.” Interlude | 6The LORD will write in the register of the peoples: "This one was born in Zion." |
| 7The people will play flutes and sing, “The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!” | 7As they make music they will sing, "All my fountains are in you." |
