1 God’s foundation is set on the holy mountains.
2 The Lord loves Zion’s gatesmore than all of Jacob’s houses combined.
3 Glorious things are said about you,the city of God! Selah
4 I count Rahab and Babel among those who know me;also Philistia and Tyre, along with Cush—each of these was born there.
5 And of Zion it is said:"Each person was born in it,but the one who will establish it is the Most High."
6 The Lord makes a record as he registers the peoples:"Each one was born there." Selah
7 And while they dance, people sing:"The source of my life comes from you."
