1He has founded his city on the holy mountain.1
2The Lord loves the gates of Zion1 more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.
3Glorious things are said of you, city of God:a1
4“I will record Rahaba1 and Babylon among those who acknowledge me— Philistia2 too, and Tyre3 , along with Cushb— and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”c4
5Indeed, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.”
6The Lord will write in the register1 of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”
7As they make music1 they will sing, “All my fountains2 are in you.”
