| 3 | Glorious things are said of thee, 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 | I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were 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 | Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath 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 | The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that 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 | The dwelling in thee is as it were of 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.” | |
