1 On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
2 the Lord loves the gates of Zionmore than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
3 Glorious things of you are spoken,O city of God. Selah
4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—“This one was born there,” they say.
5 And of Zion it shall be said,“This one and that one were born in her”;for the Most High himself will establish her.
6 The Lord records as he registers the peoples,“This one was born there.” Selah
7 Singers and dancers alike say,“All my springs are in you.”
