1 God's foundation is in the holy mountains. On the holy mount stands the city he founded; Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song. He has founded his city on the holy mountain.
2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than the dwellings 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 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Interlude Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah Glorious things are said of you, city of God:
4 I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me— including Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia — |This one was born there,| they say. 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 Indeed, about Zion it will be said: |More than one person was born in it,| and |The Most High himself did it.| 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, as he registers the peoples, |This one was born there.| Interlude 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 Then singers, as they play their instruments, will declare, |All my roots are in you.| Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.” As they make music they will sing, “All my fountains are in you.”
