| 4 | [The LORD says,] |I will add Egypt and Babylon as well as Philistia, Tyre, and Sudan to the list of those who acknowledge me. Each nation [will claim that it]was born 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 | But it will be said of Zion, |Every race is born in it. The Most High will make it secure.| | 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 will record this in the Book of Nations: |Every race [claims that it] was born there.| [Selah] | 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.” | |
