| 2 | <V 86:2>the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob. | the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. | The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the other dwellings of Jacob. | |
| 3 | <V 86:3>Glorious things are being said of you, O City of God. | Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah | Glorious things are said of you, city of God: | |
| 4 | <V 86:4>I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold, the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these have been there. | Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush— “This one was born there,” they say. | “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.’” | |
| 5 | <V 86:5>Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her. | And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; for the Most High himself will establish her. | Indeed, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.” | |
| 6 | <V 86:6>The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her. | The LORD records as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah | The LORD will write in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” | |
| 7 | <V 86:7>For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing. | Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.” | As they make music they will sing, “All my fountains are in you.” | |
