2 He loves the city of Jerusalem more than any other city in Israel. 3 O city of God, what glorious things are said of you! Interlude 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! 5 Regarding Jerusalem it will be said, “Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.” And the Most High will personally bless this city. 6 When the LORD registers the nations, he will say, “They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.” Interlude 7 The people will play flutes and sing, “The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!” Psalms 87:2-7, New Living Translation.
