| 1 | On the holy mountain stands the city founded by the LORD. | 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 | He loves the city of Jerusalem more than any other city in Israel. | 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 | O city of God, what glorious things are said of you! Interlude | Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah | Glorious things are said of you, city of God: | |
| 4 | I 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! | 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 | Regarding Jerusalem it will be said, “Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.” And the Most High will personally bless this city. | 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 | When the LORD registers the nations, he will say, “They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.” 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 | The people will play flutes and sing, “The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!” | Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.” | As they make music they will sing, “All my fountains are in you.” | |
