A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.
The LORD loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Glorious things are ascribed to you,
O city of God.
Selah
“I will mention Rahab and Babylon
among those who know Me—
along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush —
when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
And it will be said of Zion:
“This one and that one were born in her,
and the Most High Himself will establish her.”
The LORD will record in the register of the peoples:
“This one was born in Zion.”
Selah
Singers and pipers will proclaim,
“All my springs of joy are in You.”
