¹On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

²the LORD loves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

³Glorious things are spoken of you,

O city of God. Selah

⁴Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;

Philistia too, and Tyre, with Ethiopia —

‘This one was born there,’ they say.

⁵And of Zion it shall be said,

‘This one and that one were born in it’;

for the Most High himself will establish it.

⁶The LORD records, as he registers the peoples,

‘This one was born there.’ Selah

⁷Singers and dancers alike say,

‘All my springs are in you.’
